Star Wars Daily Buzz: Rogue One Ticket Sales Crash the Internet; Donnie Yen is Coming to LA; Felicity Jones Interviews and More!
Until the release of Rogue One, we decided to drop our Star Wars Weekly Buzz article and replace it with a daily one. In the last few days there were numerous interesting tidbits about Rogue One and other Star Wars movies that didn’t necessarily needed a separate article, but at the same time were too good to ignore. So every day we will post an article uniting the most interesting posts on Twitter that deserve your attention.
Here’s what we have for today.
Donnie Yen will be in LA on November 30 for a special event! What could this be… 😉
Hey Los Angeles! Come join me on Nov 30th at the TCL Chinese Theatre and celebrate this important moment with me!… https://t.co/GxsaA3svRi

Grand Admiral Thrawn is really a nice guy. And here’s the proof…

i feel like they just trolling us now.
See…That’s…Not a Thrawn move. I am actually disappointed with that.
you are looking more and more correct. they got thrawn’s look, his love of art and his speech right, but everything else feels off, especially this. thrawn doesn’t kill for the sake of it and he isn’t “evil”. this is more tarkin than anything.
Hey, at least he’s actually doing something instead of planning and letting the Rebels get away with everything. (Although it would be more in-character for Tarkin to do this.)
thats a pretty low bar to clear, 😉
This is a cartoon villain. “SIT ON THE SPEEDER UNTIL IT EXPLODES” Tarkin wouldn’t do that either. I can’t think of a canon Imperial character that would.
The Empire was all about GIANT WEAPONS and ruthless efficiency. They would have had this fellow executed on the spot with a shot to the head long before they put him on something they knew would explode like that.
I didn’t think Thrawn would get this bad but I am saddened by the cheapening of his character.
all he’s missing is a top hat and mustache. 😉
If only I could photoshop.
So now he’s forcing a guy to stay on a hot bike. CLASSIC THRAWN!!
i miss the days when thrawn actually fought rebels instead of murdering old people.
What a guy!

Good to hear. I was worried hype for this was down. I mean I know nothing can live up to a 30 years in the making sequel to a phenomenon. I want this to be a success. I feel Disney will be happy with anything in the 600 to 700 million range to warrant more SW movies of this type.
Easy billion.
if its under a billion i think disney would disappointed.
They’ll have to get over it if that’s the case. They’ll still make money though.
especially with how much TFA made for them last year. but i suspect it will be a moot point.
felicity is super cute.
I’ll be at the red carpet Rogue One event in Japan next week. Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, and Gareth Edwards will be the star guests. I’ll try to report if anything interesting is said. (I believe there will also be a fairly long movie presentation, but not the complete film.)
I predict $150 – $175 million on the opening weekend.
Sorry Toyota. Nissan kicked your ass.
Wow crazy, according to the title of the article, the entire internet went down…
