    Except that there isn't going to be a feature film now, and he sprinkled all kinds of hints through out the show that are supposed foreshadow the Telepath War.

    Sure, now- but he didn't know that at the time the TV movies were being made, with exception of Legend of the Rangers (which was designed to be a pilot for a new series that would have eventually allowed him to tell the story of the Telepath War AND possibly finish Crusade) and The Lost Tales (which would never have had the budget to do a Teep War story and was meant to be anthology in nature).

    He did almost make a theatrical B5 movie earlier this decade, and IIRC it could have been the setup for a Teep War film series, but that production was cancelled due to a producer's lack of promised funding and attempts at interferring with casting by the studio.

    Then he had to put the idea on hold because of the two big cast deaths before he could personally be able to continue with it. Now he's ready and he has the pull needed. And WB always wants more since B5 is still so profitable. It's just a matter fo aligning the demands of eahc, hopefully, and freeing up JMS's schedule.
