The only way to protect yourself from the Tyrant's army is to call in reinforcements from neighboring planets. The task of uniting the conquered colonies of the mother world has been assigned to a former imperialist named… Cora (Sofia Boutella Z “Atomic Blonde” i “Kingsman: The Secret Service”).

The Seven Samurai (1954)

Star Wars (1977)
Initially, Snyder wanted Rebel Moon to join the universe “star Wars” George Lucas. The “Justice League” director planned to introduce entirely new characters and stories into the Skywalker saga, which were not supposed to be in any way connected to what the “Galaxy Far, Far Away” films had represented so far.
He urged Lucasfilm to give his title to the highest age group – R-rated, meaning adult viewers. It is known from unofficial sources that the aim of this is to put Snyder at odds with the studio that owns “Star Wars”.
“Rebel Moon,” although more brutal and less childish, is in many ways reminiscent of “Star Wars.” Different planets with different ecosystems and out-of-this-world creatures and fight the tyrant who rules the entire galaxy. Everything is true…
