Netflix has released a new image from Rebel Moon, the upcoming space opera film directed by Zack Snyder. This image showcases Snyder's unique interpretation of the lightsaber. Rebel Moon, which originated as a Star Wars project before being transformed into a standalone universe, centers around a character named Kora who assembles a group of warriors from different parts of the galaxy to combat a tyrannical government that threatens her peaceful colony. As we eagerly await the release of Rebel Moon in December, take a look at the captivating image below.
According to Empire, the Rebel Moon image showcases a captivating scene where a character named Nemesis (portrayed by Dae Doona) confidently wields a weapon reminiscent of a lightsaber. In the storyline, Kora enlists the expertise of Nemesis, a cyborg swordmaster.
Rebel Moon's Star Wars History Explained
Originally conceived by Snyder as a Star Wars film, Rebel Moon was pitched to Lucasfilm during his post-production work on Man of Steel. It offered a more mature approach to the Star Wars universe, drawing inspiration from Akira Kurosawa's films, specifically "Seven Samurai in space." However, with Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012, the project shifted gears and Snyder adapted it into a television series, eventually evolving it into a two-part feature film for Netflix. Part one of the film will be released on December 22.
Although Rebel Moon is no longer associated with the Lucasfilm franchise, there are still noticeable elements that parallel Star Wars, such as a storyline involving rebellion against an oppressive government and the inclusion of lightsaber-like swords, regardless of copyright concerns. While Snyder has never shied away from showcasing his influences, Rebel Moon's lightsabers appear to be more than just a homage, closely resembling those from Star Wars. This strong connection to its source of inspiration may pose a challenge for Rebel Moon to establish itself as Snyder's unique creation, surpassing the immense shadow of Star Wars.
