Meet K2S0- The New Droid in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

K-2S0 the New Droid in, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

One of the characters in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, has been touring Canada in the weeks leading up to the film and next week he’ll be on view in Toronto.

Get ready to meet a life-size replica of the new Droid K-2SO, guaranteed to become a fan favourite once the movie opens.

K-2SO is a former security droid for the Empire that has been reprogrammed and is now loyal to the Alliance. Rogue One director Gareth Edwards has described the towering, powerful security droid, who’s voiced in the film by Alan Tudyk, as “the antithesis of C-3PO” and “…a little bit like Chewbacca’s personality in a droid’s body.”

The K-2S0 replica was created by Prop Shop, a London, UK-based company that created the official props used in the production of the film. K-2SO made it's first stop at Vancouver’s Fan Expo, last weekend and has also appeared in Calgary and Montreal. These Canadian stops are the only places in North America where this K-2SO replica can be seen.

K-2S0 made a quick pre-stop in Toronto to meet up with some media and of course I couldn't pass up the opportunity of having my picture taken with him! 

Me and my new good firend K-2S0

If you’d like to get your picture taken with this very cool new droid, check him out at Vaughan Mills from Monday Dec. 5 to Friday Dec. 11, 2016.
