So, in order to prevent his own slouch from being added to the character, Tudyk had to force himself to stand up straight. K-2, when rendered, had a slightly hunched over look. Tudyk called the stiltwalking the most challenging part of playing the droid, finding further difficulty in walking over things like sand and running. The droid's height meant Tudyk had to wear 13 in (33 cm) tall stilts to perform the character, which he had difficulty taking off and thus would take to the bathroom. Tudyk initially turned down the role as he felt he would be busy with Con Man, a webseries he had crowdfunded. K-2SO is voiced and portrayed via motion capture by Alan Tudyk. Director Gareth Edwards wanted K-2SO to be "appealing" despite his figure, and designs continued to reflect elements of his personality with his form his stoop is one example, showing his "casual kind of personality". His laid back personality became a "visually amusing" contrast to his "towering, monolithic form". Originally designed as a "black protocol droid", further story development and drafts that "accentuated" his ties to the Empire turned K-2SO into an Imperial security droid. Unused designs by Ralph McQuarrie for droids and stormtrooper helmets would influence his eventual head shape. References of Imperial designs were used, and the character's chest plate draws on the armor of an AT-AT commander in The Empire Strikes Back. Designs for the character's look focused on giving him both a unique silhouette as well as keeping him in tune with the Imperial aesthetic from A New Hope. K-2SO was part of the initial line-up of spies in John Knoll's pitch for Rogue One, as an Imperial protocol droid.
In the film, K-2SO is a reprogrammed Imperial security droid and the co-pilot of Cassian Andor. He is a CGI character voiced and portrayed through motion capture by Alan Tudyk. K-2SO (also referred to as K2 or Kaytoo-Esso) is a droid character in the Star Wars franchise, first appearing in the 2016 film Rogue One.
