Alan Tudyk Excitedly Talks About K-2SO's Original Fate in ROGUE ONE

With Rogue One: A Star Wars Story being released on Blu-ray and DVD soon, we are learning a lot about some of the alternate endings and storylines for the film. You can catch up on everything we've posted on those things right here

This latest bit of information comes from /Film and involves the original fate of Alan Tudyk's droid character, K-2SO. One of the things I like about this story is how excited and animated he was to be in a Star Wars movie. As he describes the scene and how it plays out, he says it was "like the best version of playing Star Wars."

“As it was, we went into the building, the base, and then we never came out; I never came out. But we moved from the base to [another] base. We had to travel. So we had to be part of that war. The good thing about that was I got to go to the Maldives. Then also, I got to be part of a battle, which was so cool.
"This is how they shoot things in Star Wars. We’re running down a beach where there’s explosions. This was built actually in London. There’s all these troops, all these Alliance troops. They have a ship on a crane coming over us with that monkey dude on that gun on the side going ‘Ahhhh! Ahhh!’, screaming and shooting. It flies over us, touches down almost. Things are going ksh-ksh, blowing smoke out of the bottom as it touches down. Troops unload from either side, hub-hub, they join the flight. We’re still running while this is happening. Guys are next to me getting launched. The stuntmen are – explosions – and launching in the air, jumping with cables pulling them up. Oh my God! If you wanna play Star Wars battle – while we’re running towards there’s Stormtroopers – like the best version of playing Star Wars, you could never have come up with this. Because I think it was $1.5 million just to do that one thing. Oh my God, it was so cool. All cut, but who gives a shit?"

We've seen photos of this scene as well as clips from it in the trailers that were released. In the end, it just didn't work as smoothly as the ending they ended up putting in the film. You can actually listen to him explain all this in the audio embed below. 

I'd love to visit and play around on the set of a Star Wars film! That would be a dream come true for me.
