Rogue One [Official Info] Alan Tudyk (K-2SO) in Rogue One

From the press release:

"...who plays a performance-capture character in Rogue One..."

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this is interesting. What do you guys think his role will be?

 

Bothan spy.

 

Now THAT would be cool

 

Changed tag to Official.

 

He piloted the Serenity and now gets to be in a Star Wars film? I love this!

 

Bothan spies have to be in Rouge One. They were integral in getting the Death Star plans. If they don't have a large presence in the film then it will seriously hurt the story in my opinion. Plus it will make me question just how dedicated the people in charge really are to the canon.

 

Were Bothan spies only mentioned for getting the Death Star II plans? I don't remember them being mentioned for the first one.

 

Cad Bane. All the way. He's an amazing actor,theater and all.

 

From Firefly to Star Wars... Nice!
I guess he going to be a Bothan.

 

The Bothans stole the plans for the SECOND Death Star (in ROTJ). This film is about stealing the plans for the FIRST Death Star (in ANH). How do so many people keep missing this idea?

 

I guess I'll be the first to say it but you know you all were thinking it too... Jar Jar Binks! This has to happen. Period.

 

I love Alan. Over the moon about this one.

 

Wrong Death Star. Bothan spies brought the Rebellion information about the second Death Star and its shield generator. All we know about the stealing of the plans for the first Death Star is that it was tied to the Rebellion's first victory against the Empire.

 

Alan Tudyk?!! I am a leaf on the wind!!! Who else is a leaf on the wind? Let's all be leaves on the wind!

 

Never mind.

 

Not suprising seeing as though he is pretty much owned by the Disney company (I think he's been in almost all of their recent animated films

 

I'm thinking his character will probably be the comic relief.

 

Another great idea.

 

I hope whatever the character look is, it has plenty of traces of his human face and expressions, which are great!
And I don't know why, but his voice I'm already picturing his character from 28 Days. LOL!

Check his feet, he's on some crazy stilts?
Looks like his alien character will be quite tall and lanky.

You can better see the height of his stilts. And how tall he is bellow...

 

I would love to see a Twilek (sp?) as a main character... Pity they have gone with all humans. Well except Tudyk.

 

Just speculating, will Tudyk be an already know alien species or something new, could he be a droid and not a living being? I wondered about him playing Zeb but I just can't see a Rebels character appearing in this.

Of the known tall alien species could it be...
Wookiee ? doubtful
Lasat? possible, but not Zeb
Trandoshan? would they work for the Alliance
Quermian? I can't see it
Gungan? not after Jar Jar

What do others think?

 

I'm hoping he is Cad Bane but those pics make that seem a lot less likely (Bane wasn't that tall in TCW).
