K-2SO



"He means well."

- Cassian Andor, on K-2SO

K-2SO, abbreviated K-2 or K, phonetically Kay-Tuesso, was a KX-series Security Droid originally created for use in the Galactic Empire's armed forces. Like all droids, he could survive in the vacuum of space.

At some point, however, the droid encountered Captain Cassian Andor, a member of the Rebel Alliance, a resistance movement that sought to overthrow the Empire and restore democracy. Andor was able to reprogram K-2SO to serve the Alliance. Somehow, this reprogramming also gave K-2SO a full personality, becoming moody, sarcastic, and frequently uncooperative, but ultimately loyal to Andor.

Along with a band of roguish Alliance operatives, K-2SO went on a daring mission to steal the plans for the Empire's moon-sized battle station, the Death Star.

Behind the scenes
K-2SO is portrayed in motion capture by Alan Tudyk in the Star Wars stand-alone film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. His name was first revealed in a preview of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: The Official Visual Story Guide, though the source listed him as both "K-2SO" and incorrectly as "K-250".
