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 Star Wars Explained, Triad of the Force, and Blast Points 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.

Join Children of the Watch as we dive into the behind-scenes development of The Mandalorian! In preparation for our Mandalorian Rewatch, we're using the wonderful Art of The Mandalorian Season 1 book by Phil Szostak as a jumping off point to discuss the conception of Din, Grogu, Cara Dune, Greef Karga, and the rest of the captivating Mandalorian universe. We discuss the timelines of Jon Favreau pitching the series to Kathleen Kennedy, ideas that could have been, and so much more.
Could an unused ship concept from The Mandalorian go on to become a big part of the upcoming Starfighter film with Ryan Gosling? How different would the show have been if they put Carl Weathers in weequay prosthetics for his role as Greef? What media inspired the series directly? Listen now for the in-depth discussion.
Next week, we'll be doing the same thing for Season 2!
