    K2SO was actually the coolest character in the movie

    • @bigmike9947
      @bigmike9947 Před 4 lety +11

      Agreed, I watch the movie just for him sometimes

    • @kennethha416

      that blind guy was pretty cool too

    • @fuadahmed5501

      He was effortlessly cool.

    • @TheFlymar
      @TheFlymar Před 2 lety +3

      And maybe, maybe... the coolest droid in the whole franchise

    • @bjmcmahon722
      @bjmcmahon722 Před 2 lety

      Well....kinda agree. I hope Filoni is bringing K2 and one or 2 99's with Omega since they just pushed BadBatch2 back for re-writes

  • @Koorime18

    He is one of the most underrated actors, he's funny, his voices are unique and very animated, and he's different in almost every movie.

    @darkautumnstories5834 Před 7 lety +145

    I love how K-2SO hits Cassian and says
    "And there's a fresh one if you mouth off again!" It made me laugh xD

    • @TheWinjin
      @TheWinjin Před 3 lety +9

      It also makes Cassian laugh - it was improvised and it worked incredible

  • @strangerthanreality
    @strangerthanreality Před 7 lety +141

    His English accent and pronunciation in the movie is pretty spot on IMO.

    • @j0hn00
      @j0hn00 Před 2 měsíci

      He's really good at accents in general. He's also done a Diego Luna impression in several interviews and it's spot on

  • @rudewalrus5636
    @rudewalrus5636 Před 3 lety +49

    Thank you Alan. "We tried to make the best movie we could;" -please know you succeeded. Rogue One is a terrific movie; absolutely top-tier Star Wars!

  • @VALENTINEproductions

    He's also iRobot. Underrated movie

    • @xmm-cf5eg

      I loved it too!

    • @xmm-cf5eg

      Kwami Jones I'd be happy with a second film, highly underrated sci-fi movie.

      or Sonny, to be more precise.

    • @riproar11
      @riproar11 Před 4 lety

      I didn't know he was in iRobot as I've watched it many times. He is very talented in creating so many different voiceover personas.

  • @KoRn315
    @KoRn315 Před 7 lety +91

    Not gonna lie, K2 was probably my least favorite death. Fucking shattered my heart and I cried like a little girl when he sacrificed himself to give Jyn and Cassian extra time

  • @eyeseer1
    @eyeseer1 Před 3 měsíci +4

    Alan Tudyk voiced Candy King in the film Wreck-It Ralph, did Wash in Firefly, played Alpha in Dollhouse, voiced Joker in Harley Quinn.
    He’s a good stunt actor in Transformers 2.

  • @dargis49
    @dargis49 Před 7 lety +15

    Alan Tudyk deserves a lot of credit for bringing K2:SO to life. The CG was amazing on it as well. It looked practical.

  • @joyfulkia
    @joyfulkia Před 7 lety +59

    Thanks for sharing this video! It was quite insightful! I am so impressed with Alan Tudyk as an actor. He made me fall in love with K-2SO. We definitely needed this character to bring some sassy light-hearted humor to this dark and gritty film. K-2SO had all the good lines and was of one my favorite characters in Rogue One!

  • @Mick_92
    @Mick_92 Před 6 lety +48

    I like this guy, he sounds like he knows his shit.

  • @ItsDeffoScott
    @ItsDeffoScott Před 3 měsíci +3

    The first thing I saw Tudyk in was A Knight's Tale. I didn't realise he was American till I saw him in other things. He's a master of voices.

    • @josebro352
      @josebro352 Před 2 měsíci +1

      He was also in a relatively unknown little Stephen King adaption that same year called Hearts In Atlantis in which he played a conman at a carnival. Great actor. Very versatile.

    • @xmm-cf5eg
      @xmm-cf5eg Před 7 lety +15

      I like how both HK and K2 have weapon related bits in their acronyms, even if this wasn't intentional I've always found it funny.

  • @KellySmith-cb2up
    @KellySmith-cb2up Před 4 měsíci +2

    Oh Allen!!!! Fellow Texan!!! I have loved loved, loved, loved, loved watching every row you ever freaking played… right now I am watching resident alien. You’re absolutely so hysterical but then again, death at a funeral… absolutely brilliant.

  • @SteampunkCorvus

    I love how they did not remove the Rogue One Beta scenes. Good job editors!

  • @LifeStranded
    @LifeStranded Před 7 lety +38

    ** Spoiler-ish Alert **
    @ 1:09 Jyn is holding the disc...but in the movie they never made it to the beach with the disc. Now I'm curious to see what alternate endings were proposed! However, I think the way the film ended is still fine.

    • @geraldine819
      @geraldine819 Před 7 lety +3

  • @ariochiv

    • @geraldine819
      @geraldine819 Před 7 lety +9

      Omg is true! I would have loved to see the scene where they're running in the beach

    • @vfxtutswithdan1893
      @vfxtutswithdan1893 Před 3 měsíci

      Me too! I remember working on a beach scene shot and was bummed that the whole ending got reworked, so it was cut. It would have been interesting to see how they wrapped it up with everyone back together.

  • @twitte0king

      His character had a grave with a grieving widow standing over it. I think he's dead.

  • @alistaircg76

    @jeffreyvonstetten5852 Před rokem +3

  • @BenKellyMusic92
    @BenKellyMusic92 Před 2 lety

    K2SO was absolute comedy gold, and brought an element of genuine wit that all the prequels and sequels sadly lacked 😅
    Thank you Alan for bringing us one of the best SW characters when we weren't expecting it 💜
