That would be super sweet if they bring him back just the way you said it........... Now granted the city/location was hit with a nice blast form the Death Star, so I don't know how much of him would be left.
Got a tip for us?

Awesome! As long as there's a head it's all good; Kaylee can fix anything!
Or perhaps another droid of the same model could be similarly reprogrammed (perhaps using some sort of K-2SO's backup).
haha.... Seeing the new droid being kicked by this guy would be classic!
This is true.......
I hope we get to see him again though, his character was rather entertaining.
I though some of the best acting was from Riz Ahmed who plays Bodhi Rook was probably also the most relatable.

Riz Ahmed has revealed that his Rogue One character changed name and grew more important to the story during shooting.
The British actor appears in the acclaimed Star Wars spin-off film as Bodhi Rook, a former Imperial pilot who defects to the Rebels. However, the role he was originally asked to play was far smaller.
“I signed up for the movie not having read a script or knowing where the character sat in the movie. I’ve got to be honest, the character was a different character at that point,” Ahmed told Vulture. “He had a different name and a different relationship to the rest of the team, and he really evolved once I signed on and once I started shooting, even.”
Ahmed continued: “They decided to start expanding the role and introducing him earlier and he became more integral to the story and the rest of the team. It’s interesting, looking back, that I signed up knowing nothing, but ultimately I’d sign up for a Star Wars movie to make tea, just to be around that level of creativity.”
Explaining that Rogue One was a more fluid shooting experience than people might expect, Ahmed added: “People talk about blockbuster movies being really stiff and like a big machine, and there is a lot of infrastructure around these stories and how people tell them, but you’ve also got a lot of people who are willing to unpick stitching that doesn’t work, rather than just embroider it.
“That takes guts, man. That takes balls, that takes heart. Things kept evolving, and they weren’t afraid to go back and change it or try to make it better.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they make a point of saying that the Death Star wasn't completely done because it wasn't up to full power. That it could destroy cities but not entire planets and they had more work to do. But then whatshisface and whatshisname are killed and Leah gets the plans which means there is just a few days at best before the Death Star blows up her home planet. They fixed the Death Star that quickly without the lead scientist and the guy leading the lead scientist and like six other head engineers???
What I don't understand, is why the Death Star didn't fire on the base directly? Why shoot out in the ocean? Was it just to give Jyn & Cassian a chance to die together?
I believe they were just testing it at lower power. Didn't they say just use one generator or something like that?

Targeting guy sneezed.
I don't remember. I thought they had more work to do but I guess I'm wrong. Someone on Facebook said the same thing you just posted. Oh well, will just have to see it again.
I don't think they aimed at the ocean. They aimed at the city and the blast wave is what travelled across the ocean to kill Jyn & Cassian.
I thought I remembered the Death Star wasn't fully operational when they fired it twice in Rogue One.
At this point it's more a city or continent killer. I assume some really great IT person on the Death Star realized a substandard component was used on the focusing array and fabricated a more efficient component in the on-site machine shop prior to its more successful test on Alderaan.

Or the head programmer figured out it should have been an "IF" statement instead of an "AND" statement.

What's an "AND" statement?
I saw it yesterday and it was my first time watching something Star Wars-related and I gotta say: Wow! That was a brilliant movie! I will watch all the other movies in the coming weeks. I'm excited.
This was precisely my take. Tarkin was attempting to destroy the tower, disrupt the transmission. The beam handily sliced through the tower and continued at a low angle (based on Death Star having just risen over the horizon) until it 'ended' in the ocean.
The tower was the target. The ocean was the 'drop cloth' or background that took the residual hit.

Optics. Like the Hubble. Someone realized there was a fingerprint on a mirror. In other words, Windex doomed Alderaan.
I completely agree with you.
My first reaction was the same as yours. But on reflection, I think the ending added to the realism. Now I love it.
I agree. I thought the R2 C3PO cameos were very clunky. Not as bad as in TFA, but still v poor. They were a movie weak point for me. The other point that didn't work for me, was Jyn Erso smiling as they discussed a suicide mission, saying 'we have hope'. That may have been left over from an alternate, discarded ending. But these are v minor quibbles about a movie I loved and thought was absolutely brilliant.
I think it was definitely better that Ep VII (not least because it was an original story from start to finish). I put it above the prequels, and maybe even Ep VI (Ewoks taking down Stormtroopers and their assault vehicles doesn't quite work for me). For me, it is right up there with Ep V. It's the yardstick by which all the new movies will be judged. Those involved in Ep VIII need to understand this.
I agree, Darth.

I agree, its more realistic but yet the specifics of the ending (in the spoiler tags) bothered me.
I hated that Jyn and Andor were holding hands with the destruction rolling down. I liked how Saw Gerrera handled it. That seemed more realistic.
Ah. I didn't know I could click on a spoiler tag and see more. Sorry.
I now understand what you mean, and agree.
No worries, I was purposely trying to avoid being specific, but the spoiler tags hid the details for those who haven't seen the movie yet.
I was actually okay with that moment given their circumstances. If it went further then I would have balked. I'm seeing it again tomorrow as a present to older sis. We'll definitely have a better time than last year.
I definitely want to see it again. Given that I cannot sit still for more then 2 hours, is a testament to how great the film is imo
Hope you get the chance to do so.I definitely want to see it again. Given that I cannot sit still for more then 2 hours, is a testament to how great the film is imo
I watched it a couple of days ago. Absolutely fell in love. The first hour was a fun build up but the last half was incredible for me. That final battle! I normally nod off during fight scenes, but this one was done so well! And what a mix of emotions, I did a little cry in the heat of it all!
I was expecting something like The Hunger Games in terms of tone, direction etc. And I always avoid watching trailers for films I'm going to watch (I find them too spoiler-y) so god knows where that impression came from. I thought it'd be a nice filler film. Something not too important and not interesting. I didn't expect it to be that unique!
For me the hook was the incredible imagery. Much like that Godzilla film he directed before this one (I loved the big fire-breath shot in that film. He seems to be able to create these giant, spooky scenes with ease).
Now I wait for the bluray!
Edit: Oh! And I absolutely loved that there weren't any ocean tides on Scarif. That was a real nice touch. Made me realise that not many space films show beaches. I'm sure there must be but none come to mind. However on the Star Wars Battlefront game Scarif does have tides. Boooo)
