However, the design of the character also played a significant role in conveying his evolution from his days under the Empire’s thumb.
We’re just glad that Kaytoo dropped the whole “stoic” act by the time he hooked up with Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) to take down the Death Star.
Compared to the other Imperial droids in Rogue One, Kaytoo is considerably more scratched and dented, which further adds to the idea that he has lived an entire life since his liberation.
His colorfully cynical personality easily stood out as one of the highlights of the recent Star Wars film, and Alan Tudyk deserves quite a bit of credit for making the (literally) robotic character feels so human.
