Zack Snyder’s Star Wars Pitch Was Shot Down For Being R-Rated And Lacking Existing Characters

In the interview, Snyder reaffirmed that “a Star Wars movie” was his initial concept for Rebel Moon, adding, “It was Seven Samurai in space. I knew that the origins for George [Lucas] were a lot of those Kurosawa films.”
