We take a look at Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Scargiver and how it compares to Star Wars.
We take a break from Star Wars to discuss Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Scargiver. Both Rebel Moon movies evolved from a pitch that Zack Snyder made to Lucasfilm for a Star Wars movie. When Lucasfilm declined to make the movies, Snyder turned them into an original property. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss the second movie. We look for the Star Wars inspirations and influences and discuss whether this could have worked as a potential Star Wars movie. We liked this movie better than the critics. Check out this episode and find out why.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Starust, we discuss:
- Our overall, non-spoiler thoughts on Rebel Moon – Part 2,
- How this movie follows in the tradition of movies like The Seven Samurai,
- The Star Wars influences we found in Rebel Moon – Part 2,
- The scenes that stood out to us and criticisms we have of the movie,
- The potential for a sequel, and
- How, if at all, this movie could work as a Star Wars movie.
