#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Regarding Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), how does K-2SO die in Rogue One?

What a correct answer would look like:

K-2SO dies in the Citadel Tower on Scarif while protecting Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor. While Jyn and Cassian search the data vault, K-2SO remains at the control console outside to locate the specific 'Stardust' file for them. When stormtroopers attack, he fights them off while continuing to guide Jyn. Overwhelmed by blaster fire and sustaining critical damage, he decides to sacrifice himself. He tells Jyn and Cassian to 'Climb' and then shoots/smashes the control panel to lock the vault door, sealing them inside to protect them from the stormtroopers. His final word before shutting down is 'Goodbye.'

#F CORRECTION FEED (CLICK TO SEARCH)

[1] K-2SO is not just holding back stormtroopers; he is actively operating the computer console to locate the specific 'Stardust' file for Jyn and Cassian. Without his guidance, they would not know which tape to retrieve.
[2] K-2SO does not close the door immediately. He fights the stormtroopers while the door is open so he can communicate with Jyn and Cassian. He destroys the panel to lock the door only as his final act when he is about to be destroyed.
[3] K-2SO is standing at the control console when he destroys it and dies. He falls/slumps at the console, rather than leaning back against the door itself.
[4] While he does warn them to climb, his actual final word is 'Goodbye,' which is a significant emotional beat for the character.
