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 takes the three episodes that finish up the Fall of Centauri Prime arc, namely And All My Dreams, Torn Asunder; Movements of Fire and Shadow; and The Fall of Centauri Prime. Not much has been cut out of this edit and most of it is just trimming out the commercial breaks.

Another fantastic edit. Such a fitting conclusion to Londo's arc, and it ties in to the novels by Peter David perfectly, with them starting at the end of this. Londo and G'kar and their journeys are the heart of the show, more so than that of Delen, Sheridan, or anyone else, and to see their characters come to the ends of their stories.

Also, great edit as always.
