There’s not a lot of rain in Star Wars. In the classic films, there’s a bit of rain on Dagobah, and that’s about it. The prequels gave us the rain-swept world of Kamino, while the sequels drenched Luke and Rey on Ahch-To for The Last Jedi. But in none of these cases did the use of rain signal an aesthetic shift into noir-territory for Star Wars. In fact, even though Attack of the Clones had nods to Blade Runner’s skyline, the Star Wars saga has never gone full sci-fi noir a la Blade Runner... until now.
