Nerd culture shows why this film from producer Zack Snyder did not make it into the Star Wars
universe, but why that might actually be a good thing.
Rebel Moon is a space opera produced by Snyder, which, while inspired by the Star Wars
films, creates an entirely own universe.
Rebel Moon will be released in two parts on Netflix. The first part on December 22, 2023, the second follows on April 19, 2024. The films will be PG-13, but Snyder is already planning a director’s cut for adults.
What exactly lies behind the connection to Star Wars
, Marco explains in his latest video. We have embedded the video here for you:
Marco Risch has been uploading videos with news, reviews, analyses, and interviews about current films, series, and video games on his YouTube channel Nerdkultur since 2015. In his Podcast Nerd & Kultur, he talks every Sunday with his colleague Yves Arievich about topics like Star Wars, Marvel, and DC. He is part of the Webedia network, of which MeinMMO is also a part.
In the video, you learn that Snyder originally wanted to make an R-rated version of a Star Wars
film. However, Lucasfilm rejected this twice.
This resulted in this film, which tells the story of a peaceful colony rebelling against the Empire
. This is reminiscent of classic stories like Seven Samurai
by Akira Kurosawa.
Snyder’s wife believes that the rejection was the best thing that could happen, as it meant her husband was not constrained
by an existing franchise.

This could even be the beginning of a trilogy. And even if it is not intended that way, Rebel Moon might feel like some sort of competition to Star Wars.
