Warning: SPOILERS for Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of FireRebel Moon: Part One – A Child Of Fire’s militaristic empire reigns supreme, but the prophecy of Princess Issa, a young royal who’s gifted with remarkable power, may come to prove essential in changing the course of history for the subjugated societies under the Motherworld. The Motherworld empire drives the plot line of Zack Snyder’s newest blockbuster and uses its branch of the military, the Imperium, for the conquest of helpless civilizations. When military leader Admiral Noble and the Imperium set their sights on a farming colony on the moon Veldt, a former soldier named Kora (Sofia Boutella) decides it’s time to take a stand against the empire’s barbarous rule.
Synder’s epic space opera sees Kora assemble a motley group of warriors for the cause, but her ambition proves to come up somewhat short by the time of Rebel Moon’s conclusion, as Admiral Noble survives the insurrection and a target is placed on her back as a result. With Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver already set for release next year, the rebellion against the Motherworld is sure to continue in spite of Kora’s setback. How Kora and her contemporaries will succeed in their cause is up for debate, but Princess Issa could conceivably have a critical role in the dismantling of the Motherworld.
Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver Release Date, Cast, Story & Everything We Know
Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon: Part Two will closely follow the first movie in his franchise and here is everything known, including the release date.
How Do Princess Issa’s Healing Powers Work?
According to Rebel Moon’s lore, Princess Issa (Stella Grace Fitzgerald) was the daughter of the slain king of the empire. Before Issa’s birth, the king ruled as the hand of the Motherworld and sought expansion of the realm through war and conquest, but he started to soften to the idea of seeking harmony within the empire once she was born. Issa was more than just a harbinger of peace, however, as she bore the rare healing power of a legendary ancient queen for whom she was named.
Issa and her parents were all assassinated in a coup intending to disrupt the conduct of peace, at which time Kora was stationed as the young princess’ protector. A little more than halfway through the epic, Kora reveals that she witnessed Issa do unspeakable things and recounts a time when the princess resurrected a deceased bird in her hands with a burst of bright energy. Rebel Moon doesn’t make clear how her powers operate, but folklore told by various characters throughout the movie suggests that Issa was a divine being born in human flesh or even the aforementioned ancient queen reincarnated.
The Prophecy Of Princess Issa & How It’ll Affect Rebel Moon 2
Rebel Moon’s cast of characters also often acknowledge Issa as the herald of a war-ending prophecy. In one scene, a sentient combat machine by the name of Jimmy eloquently recounts the fealty they felt to Issa and evidence of the prophecy:
In myth, she was called the Chalice or the Redeemer… So, when word reached us on some distant battlefield that she, as prophesied, had been born of flesh and blood into our world, I felt a great warmth for the universe and trusted that she was to usher in a new age of peace and compassion.
The prophecy of Issa seems promising for the fight that will ensue in Rebel Moon: Part Two – The Scargiver, especially seeing that Admiral Noble and the Imperium have not been defeated and are likely to resume their devastating antics. If Issa truly was a reincarnation of a divine being who had the power to heal and end wars, then there stands a chance that she can resurrect again. Fortified with such incredible power and a prophecy that asserts her capability of establishing peace, Princess Issa would be the ideal comrade-in-arms for Kora following the events of Rebel Moon: Part One – A Child of Fire.
