A K-2SO droid exhibition display from Gareth Edwards’ Star Wars prequel Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Originally created for the Galactic Empire’s armed forces, K-2SO (Alan Tudyk) was reprogrammed to assist the Rebel Alliance, before becoming co-pilot to Cassian Andor (Diego Luna). The security droid appeared throughout the film, sacrificing himself to save Cassian and Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) during the Battle of Scarif.

World Duty Free and The Walt Disney Company Ltd collaborated to promote the release of the film in late 2016 with a seven-week campaign which took place in Gatwick Airport’s South Terminal. The exhibition featured a selection of replica lead character props and costumes. These were created by the production team who worked on the movie using original production reference. The character was realised using CGI and motion capture in the film.

Inspired by unused designs by concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, K-2SO was originally intended to be a black protocol droid and the Imperial version of C-3PO. The final version of the droid took elements from previous designs in the original trilogy: the chest armour referenced the exterior of an AT-AT commander seen in The Empire Strikes Back; the triangular mouth resembled that of the RA-7 protocol droids; and the head shape was influenced by stormtrooper helmets.

Constructed from a combination of fibreglass, resin and metal, the droid consists of a tall skeletal figure with human-like limbs and mechanical components throughout. The head of the droid displays two rounded acrylic eyes and a cut-out section adorns the front of the torso. Finished in dark shades of grey, K-2SO has strips of yellow around his shoulders and legs, and white Imperial insignias decorate both shoulders.

The K-2SO droid displays minor paint wear and faux-silver marks, and is mounted on a custom-made display with a plaque featuring the Rogue One title artwork and a description of the character’s history. Dimensions (displayed): 75 cm x 100 cm x 216 cm (29 ½” x 39 ½” x 85 ¼”)
