The poster pokes fun at its Star Wars similarities.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon receives a more honest title and tagline in a playful poster. Originally conceived by Snyder as a more mature Star Wars movie which was rejected by Lucasfilm, Rebel Moon is an upcoming space opera that follows a mysterious woman named Kora who leads a rebellion against a tyrannical ruling force.
Ahead of Rebel Moon's release date, a new fan-made poster shared by @TheWeeklyPlanet on Instagram gives Snyder's sci-fi epic a more honest title and tagline. Check it out below: The fan-made poster replaces the title with "Sexy Star Wars," echoing star Ed Skrein calling Rebel Moon "Star Wars with sex, violence, and swearing." It also replaces the original tagline, "War comes to every world," with "What if Star Wars but Star Wars was Dune but also Chronicles of Riddick."
Rebel Moon's Other Influences Explained While Rebel Moon's origins as a Star Wars movie have been well-documented and widely discussed, Snyder's sci-fi epic has several other notable influences. The director's original pitch to Lucasfilm was a more mature take on Star Wars inspired by the works of Akira Kurosawa, with Snyder calling it "Seven Samurai in space.
The fan-made Rebel Moon poster playfully highlights two more influences on the film. Though Snyder has never cited Dune specifically, Frank Herbert's seminal sci-fi novel from 1965 predates Star Wars and undoubtedly influenced Rebel Moon. The Chronicles of Riddick also appears to have influenced Snyder's sci-fi epic, as the Rebel Moon trailer features shots of alien worlds using both extremes of color saturation.
