Snyderkin, we're back. We're so back.

Zack Snyder pitched his idea for a Star Wars sequel and it was shot down by Disney. So Netflix optioned it and produced it. Oh, and you know how the bad guys of Star Wars were fashioned after Nazis? Well the bad guys of Rebel Moon are fashioned after Soviets.

Also Netflix poured millions into this and has already started a spin-off for the Anthony Hopkins C3PO, directed by Del Toro.

    The film also began development as a Star Wars film that Snyder had pitched to Lucasfilm shortly after the sale of Lucasfilm to The Walt Disney Company in 2012. This pitch was to be a more mature take on the Star Wars universe. Following the acquisition, the project was redeveloped

    In a universe controlled by the corrupt government of the Mother World, the moon of Veldt is threatened by the forces of the Imperium, the army of the Mother World controlled by Regent Balisarius. Kora, a former member of the Imperium who seeks redemption for her past in the leadership of the oppressive government, tasks herself to recruit warriors from across the galaxy to make a stand against the Mother World's forces before they return to the planet.

    just throw all the popular franchises in a blender basically

      more mature take on the Star Wars universe

      It's going to have more juvenile edgy violence and booba, knowing Synder's idea of "maturity."

        There was already a more mature take on Star Wars, and Andor was actually good.

        Any time someone describes anything as ”a more mature take on X”, it almost without fail means nudity and violence, the 15-year-old's idea of maturity.

          Agreed, and Andor didn't have to market itself that way. It was barely marketed at all.
