Rebel Moon follows the story of a woman named Kora (Sofia Boutella) who rallies a group of warriors to battle the oppressive and corrupt government of the Mother World, which is terrorising the galaxy.

Elaborating on the constraints imposed by Lucasfilm and his plans for characters away from the central Skywalker saga, the director explained: "There was that window where, you know, who knows what’s possible?
"I was like, ‘I don’t want any of your characters. I don’t want to do anything with any known characters, I just want to do my own thing on the side.’ And originally I was like, ‘It should be rated R!’ That was almost a non-starter."
Rebel Moon: Part One will be released on Netflix on December 22, Part Two: The Scargiver will premiere April 19, 2024.
