One of the big joys of making Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was working with Gareth Edwards, admitted Tudyk, though, who also singled-out collaborating Diego Luna, adding that he “is a lot of fun.”

Around the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, much was made of the fact that Tony Gilroy was brought on to rewrite and even oversee some of the reshoots for the film.

While Tudyk acknowledges that Gilroy came in at the end and did all the rewrites, he also insisted that the film was largely unchanged and Tony Gilroy just “connected things a little bit tighter.”

On the contribution that Edwards made to the production, Alan Tudyk said that K2SO would not have have been the same without the decisions that Gareth made.

“All of the stuff, like lines that I said, where I was goofing around half the time because Gareth made it so much fun on set. That was so easy-going and so proactive, such a proactive director … He let us goof around, and that ended up becoming a tone of the character throughout the movie and ended up in the movie finally."
