Andor showrunner explained why K-2SO is not featured in the upcoming star wars series.
The new to come star wars series Andor is set to tell the stories of its main character played by Diego Luna years before the events of Snape One. Some are a little surprised that the droid K-2SO (Alan Tudyk) won’t be appearing in season 1 of this series, given that in 2019 Diego Luna and Alan Tudyk took the stage together to discuss the show at D23 Expo.
Well, showrunner Tony Gilroy explained why we won’t see K-2SO in Andor Season 1, and what it could mean for it star wars To display:
“From a narrative point of view, there are several reasons. I would say, ‘Wait and see.’ It’s a story we can’t wait to tell. It’s hard to carry an Imperial droid with you and not attract all kinds of attention. It is a difficult baggage. When we do, we’ll do it in a spectacular way instead of presenting it and ignoring it, or presenting it or hiding it, or the bad versions that we would have been forced to do.
It’s safe to say that the first season of Andor seems to follow the early years of the Rebel Alliance, and given that K-2SO is an Imperial droid, it’s likely he wasn’t a part of Cassian’s life until a little closer when the events of A thug occurs.
Diego Luna first appeared as Cassian Andor in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Here is the synopsis of the film:
Former scientist Galen Erso lives on a farm with his wife and young daughter, Jyn. His peaceful existence crumbles when the evil Orson Krennic takes him away from his beloved family. Several years later, Galen becomes the Empire’s chief engineer for the galaxy’s most powerful weapon, the Death Star. Knowing that her father holds the key to her destruction, Jyn teams up with a spy and other resistance fighters to steal the space station plans for the Rebel Alliance.
Directed by Gareth Edwards from a screenplay co-written by Chris Weitz and Tony Gilroy based on a story by John Knoll and Gary Whitta, A thug stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, with Jiang Wen and Forest Whitaker.
