There's been a lot of discussion here and elsewhere about possible concepts for a new B5 miniseries. I thought it would be fun to explore these ideas with some (fictional) DVD cover art and share them with everyone here.
Miniseries #1
Babylon 5: The Telepath War
Back Cover Description -
The Babylon 5 universe returns with the groundbreaking and award winning twelve-hour miniseries: The Telepath War. Written by J. Michael Straczynski, the miniseries takes you into the action and drama of the infamous telepath war that's briefly discussed in the original series and spin-off Crusade.
Featuring state-of-the-art effects and a stunning score by fan favorite Christopher Franke, The Telepath War continues the epic of Babylon 5 and solidifies itself as a modern sci-fi classic.
Miniseries #2
Babylon 5: Army of Light
Back Cover Description -
Babylon 5: Army of Light follows the incredible adventures of the Rangers, an elite military group whose purpose is to watch the shadows and enforce the peace.
Beginning with their formation and ending with their role in the Interstellar Alliance, this nine-episode miniseries ambitiously spans across 1000 years, three wars, and three leaders collectively known as "The One".
Miniseries #3
Babylon 5: The Adventures of Lyta and G'kar
(I wanted the cover to look old, and have an Indiana Jones type feel to it)
Back Cover Description -
The year is 2263. Two months have passed since Lyta Alexander and Citizen G'kar left Babylon 5 to travel among the stars. Their journey of introspection and enlightenment has quickly turned into a deadly game of cat and mouse with constant encounters with the Psi Corps out on the rim. As Lyta's powers continue to grow and G'kar continues writing his book, a shocking revelation takes them to the Vorlon homeworld and finally back to Earth to finish their business with the Corps.
...
Alright, so maybe I had little too much time on my hands?
Regardless, it was still a lot of fun to create these DVD covers. I really enjoyed coming up with the synopses, listing the extra features on the DVDs, and figuring out who would star in these fictional miniseries.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed them. I'd be interested to see what other people can come up with.
