From the main hype page:

Now in 2007, you are being taken to 2271 A.D. for Babylon 5: The Lost Tales, a made-for-video movie. See footage from the movie, with a panel to follow. Panelists include writer/director/executive producer J.

The real question is was B5 better than DS9???

Still waiting for that Cadillacs and Dinosaurs movie...

easily, there was a sense of realism and coherency in B5, with so many interlocking storylines that generated a unique and full universe, and it beat DS9 in ratings too

B9 is much better then DS9

 

[Addendum]

B5 is great stuff.

Some of the novels are great as well. The Psi Corps Trilogy, The Legion of Fire Trilogy (which accounts the Centauri under the influence of the Drakh), and the Techno-Mage Trilogy are highly recommended and are B5 canon. Also, To Dream in the City of Sorrows and The Shadow Within are considered canon as well.

I would have liked a B5 movie, but due to the deaths of Andreas Katsulas and Richard Biggs, plus Warner Bros. considering recasting some of the roles from B5, it's better it never happened. And JMS owns the movie rights.

I'm definitely looking forward to the Lost Tales.
