Join Children of the Watch for a roundtable conversation with Alan Tudyk, the incredible performer behind so many beloved characters including the Star Wars droid K-2SO, from Andor and Rogue One.

Alex got the wonderful opportunity to join Alan in a roundtable conversation alongside some of the greatest voices in Star Wars fan media, including ‪@StarWarsExplained‬ ‪@TriadoftheForce‬ and ‪@blastpoints‬ to discuss just what it takes to play one of Star Wars' most beloved droids. The discussion includes what it's like to perform as K-2SO in the motion capture suit, the storylines Tudyk has created in his head about Cassian's first days with K2, as well as how the experiences of filming Andor and Rogue One compared.

Special thank you to Alan Tudyk and all the wonderful outlets involved in the discussion, and also to Lucasfilm for the invitation and for capturing the footage and audio from the conversation.

Be sure to check out a completely different interview featuring Alan with our friends at Skytalkers, Friends of the Force, and Talking Bay 94!
