Actor Alan TudykOpens in a new tab has already been a sci-fi icon for several years now, thanks principally to his work in Joss WhedonOpens in a new tab properties like FireflyOpens in a new tab, SerenityOpens in a new tab, and DollhouseOpens in a new tab. But Tudyk really got his chance to earn his spot among the geek elite when he stole the show as the reprogrammed Imperial droid K-2SOOpens in a new tab in last year’s Star WarsOpens in a new tab standalone movie Rogue OneOpens in a new tab.
While its unlikely that Tudyk will be reprising his role as the lovable (but also kind of not?) robot anytime soon–you’ll of course understand what I mean if you’ve seen the movie–he is contributing a story to issue #3 of IDW ComicsOpens in a new tab‘ new all ages series Star Wars AdventuresOpens in a new tab. And yes, the story does indeed feature K-2SO in action once again.
Tudyk is co-writing a backup story in that issue titled “Adventures in Wookiee-Sitting”: an adorable all-ages Star Wars tale featuring K-2SO, rebel Captain Cassian Andor (played by Diego LunaOpens in a new tab in Rogue One), and some baby Wookiees. And seriously, what kind of Grinch doesn’t love baby Wookiees? Tudyk had this to say about his upcoming story:
“I wrote some of K-2SO’s words in this. I know how he speaks and thinks since I spoke and thunk him in Rogue One.”
Well, that right there has us sold. How about you? You can have a sneak peek at the upcoming story down below, and be sure to pick up Star Wars Adventures #3 when it hits comic books shops on October 11th.
