Legendary 31-Year-Old Space Western Officially Returns With New Release

While the Western genre is experiencing a bit of a comeback on-screen with the likes of Taylor Sheridan putting a modern twist on the genre, the same can’t really be said for the space western. Plenty of sci-fi titles still share some loose, pulpy roots with classic Westerns, but there aren’t many that evoke the same vibes as something like Firefly, Outland, or the classic anime Cowboy Bebop. This year did, however, see The Mandalorian and Grogu premiere in theaters and continue Jon Favreau‘s Star Wars spin-off series with a standalone cinematic adventure following the titular bounty hunter on a new mission. A storied anime Western is also about to make a return to the genre in a new form.
