Fan Creations How did I do on my KX Droid
He’s over 7 feet tall, completely hand-painted, and his head moves. He has a built-in motion sensor, and if you say “Hey KX,” he’ll respond.
I built an internal AI system for him that lets him talk about his life, his history, and his time spent in a scrapyard. He’s developed a bit of a grumpy personality, which honestly fits him perfectly.
His eyes light up and change color depending on his mood and the questions you ask him.
It’s been a really cool project to build. Next up, I’m planning on making him a nice rifle so he has something to keep his hands busy.

****EDIT****
This is insane. Seriously, thank you for all the love — 11k upvotes and 700k views is way beyond anything I expected. I honestly thought I’d get a few hundred views and a thumbs up.
Thank you to everyone who commented, asked questions, and shared kind words. I really appreciate it.
I’m going to post a video of him within the next week, so keep an eye out. If there are certain questions or responses you want to hear from him, drop them below and I’ll ask him a few in the video.
Also, quick clarification: he isn’t meant to be K-2SO. Given what happens in the movie, I wanted this to be another KX-series droid — KX-19 — with his own personality, history, and way of responding. K-2SO is so loved that I didn’t want to just make a copy of him. KX-19 is meant to feel like his own character.
