Brief Synopsis:
The Babylon 5 Project aims to focus on the arc stories of the TV show by creating a series of films. This creates a more streamlined rewatch of Babylon 5 for those who want to maximize the arc without having to watch the mostly stand-alone episodes with arc storylines in them.
Intention:
Babylon 5 has such a riveting arc based story that I've returned to watch time and time again but I'm not a big fan of the standalone episodes. However, many standalones do have some arc based storylines which are paid off later. I wanted to craft a new way to watch the series which creates an "all killer, no filler" B5 experience. Some films would just be three or so episodes strung together because of how heavily arc concentrated they are. Other films need to be built from the ground up from the pieces of many episodes which creates new viewing experiences and slightly changed narratives. The Babylon 5 Project also looks to exorcise some loose plot threads that don't pay off down the line.

Editing Details:
This edit is based on the War Without End two-parter. There were a few trims here and there because while most of War Without End aligns with Babylon Squared, there were some discrepancies. Both of these were originally edited together to provide a more seamless experience.
I've also edited in all of the footage of Babylon Squared that takes place on Babylon 4 used in Babylon 5 Project I: Dawn of the Third Age. The episode War Without End (Part 2) felt extremely rushed and the additions allow it to breathe. I also used some footage of Londo from In the Beginning as well to give him a bit more development.

Its a well executed edit, with no issues in sound or video that I saw. The narrative for the actual episodes is weird, so that didn't help this movie edit much either, but I over all liked the way it worked out. There was too much repeated from the season 1 episode, though, in my opinion. Its been years since I watched this the normal way, though, so it might be sins of the original episodes leaking through that I had just forgotten. Also realized that I really hate the idea of Sheridan's situation here. It essentially ruins the anticipation and spoils the whole rest of the show, actually. That has nothing to do with the edit though, and is totally the original writer's fault. Regardless, I'm glad I watched it and I greatly enjoyed it. Thank you!
