Alan Tudyk, best known to Star Wars fans as the sassy K-2SO in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, has been speaking at San Diego Comic-Con about the upcoming second half of his Resident Alien series. He has compared the baby alien in the series to Grogu, from The Mandalorian, and suggested which one would win in a fight.
SDCC: Alan Tudyk & ’Resident Alien’ cast on alien baby vs. Grogu, mayhem to come in Season 2
The cast of Resident Alien offered up a nice primer on what fans can expect when the show returns in a few weeks.
Creator Chris Sheridan, along with stars Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Alice Wetterlund, Corey Reynolds, Elizabeth Bowen, Levi Fiehler and Judah Prehn brought an exclusive clip of the opening scene of the back half of Season 2, showing off the aftermath of that shooting and who comes up to see what happened. Yeah, it’s tense — and also hilarious.
Along with that gunshot echoing through the night, the first half of Season 2 ended on a cliffhanger that introduced a killer alien baby into the fold, and showrunner Chris Sheridan teased fans will be seeing more of that crazy creature when the series returns. Because it turns out he’s not just a wild twist in this world, he’s actually a critical piece of the plot that will drive Season 2 froward, providing some critical intel on the mysterious second alien race roaming the planet.
“We come into Season 2 with Harry searching for the baby alien to get the rest of the information on who these other aliens are on the planet,” Sheridan explained at the panel, with SYFY WIRE in attendance.
As for that alien baby, Tudyk made no qualms about comparing their extraterrestrial youngster to a certain other beloved alien baby — you know, a little guy named Grogu from the Star Wars universe? So how do they stack up? “Better than Grogu,” Tudyk said. “They should go toe-to-toe and fight, and our baby alien would win.”
Who do you think would win? Season 2 of Resident Alien resumes on August 10th on SYFY.
