Star Wars: Rogue One - Predicting Who Lives And Who Dies
7. K-2SO
Why He Could Live: Kaytoo is this movie's requisite droid hero, although maybe 'hero' is being a bit kind; by all reckoning this robot's a sardonic one with little care for humans. Still, he's going to be the most developed droid character since C-3PO, and that puts him in a strong stance for further exploration, especially as, being a former Imperial drone, it's feasible he'd wind up on the peripheries of the galaxy following A New Hope.
Why He Could Die: The other reason his personality is so developed could be that the film's prepping everyone for a surprisingly emotional death scene. That's the standard arc for the abrasive team member in this sort of film, and with K-2SO being a reprogrammed droid that also raises a lot of big questions about the true life of automatons.
Prediction: Sacrifices himself in a surprisingly poignant scene that sheds a new light on his grumpy sentience.
