About Him
Overview... a reprogrammed KX-Series Imperial droid now serving the Rebel Alliance. K-2 works alongside the man who reprogrammed him, Alliance intelligence officer Cassian Andor. Their latest mission is to accompany Jyn Erso, a young jailbird, to chase the rumor that a defected Imperial pilot has a message from Jyn’s father, Imperial scientist Galen Erso, about how to defeat the Death Star super-weapon that Galen himself is building. Frankly, K-2 doesn’t think the chances of success are all that great. And as a droid, he has no problem with explicitly spelling out the slim odds for all to hear.
Personality... sarcastic yet loyal. K-2 has a lot more personality than you’d expect from a walking bucket of bolts, and he’s much funnier than Andor. (Though given how deathly serious Andor typically is, that’s a low bar indeed.) Still, K-2 would do anything for Andor, and you get the sense that it’s not just because he’s programmed that way. You’d swear K-2 has a real beating heart lurking somewhere in that seven feet of metal.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
As the shadows of the Empire loom ever larger across the galaxy, so do deeply troubling rumors. The Rebellion has learned of a sinister Imperial plot to bring entire worlds to their knees. Deep in Empire-dominated space, a machine of unimaginable destructive power is nearing completion. A weapon too terrifying to contemplate—and a threat that may be too great to overcome. If the worlds at the Empire's mercy stand any chance, it lies with an unlikely band of allies: Jyn Erso, a resourceful young woman seeking vengeance; Cassian Andor, a war-weary rebel commander; Bodhi Rook, a defector from the Empire's military; Chirrut Imwe, a blind holy man and his crack-shot companion, Baze Malbus; and K-2SO, a deadly Imperial droid turned against its former masters. In their hands rests the new hope that could turn the tide toward a crucial Rebellion victory—if only they can capture the plans to the Empire's new weapon. But even as they race toward their dangerous goal, the specter of their ultimate enemy—a monstrous world unto itself—darkens the skies. Waiting to herald the Empire's brutal reign with a burst of annihilation worthy of its dreaded name: Death Star.
