Zack Snyder's R-Rated Star Wars Pitch and the Rise of Rebel Moon

Zack Snyder's original pitch for Rebel Moon as a Star Wars movie was rejected due to its lack of existing characters and potential R-rating. Snyder wanted to develop a standalone story inspired by Kurosawa films, but Disney was hesitant to deviate from the established Star Wars universe. Rebel Moon eventually found a home at Netflix as a space opera, with two separate movies planned for release. Snyder intends to offer two versions of each film, one for a wider audience and another with more explicit content for adult viewers.
