Star Wars and Babylon 5. How do these two compare. Both stretch across the vast arena of space in the eternal battle between Good and Evil, encompassing a multitute of characters, both are complex and multi-layered epics......
How do they stand up next to each other? Thoughts?
Star Wars was made for all ages, which allowed the younger ones to understand it. Babylon 5 was more complex with shades of grey.
I personally found Babylon 5 a more enjoyable show to watch as there were twists which keep the audience interested. Star Wars is a good show/movie to watch, but I don't think it is as good as all the hardcore fans make out, its gets boring real quick.
I also think Lucas is pretty arogrant, I bet he has never watched a episode of Babylon 5 or Star Trek for that matter.
