Oh this is something that really makes me sick. A question was asked about the movie LOtR (Legend of The Rangers)where Epsilon 5 was not seen in the back ground at the end shot where Babylon 5 was. This was the response.

When they were moving into post production GVFX asked Warner Bros. Television for the original special effects computer files for Babylon 5 and Crusade - which by contract had to be returned to the studio by the SFX companies working on the show at the end of each season. That's when it was discovered that someone at Warner Bros. had mistakenly dumped said computer files, during routine "house cleaning" of the archives. None of the existing ship models, planets, background plates or other source files from Foundation Imaging or Netter Digital remained. GVFX had to build everything used in the movie "from scratch". Since they had a drop-dead air date and a limited budget, there simply wasn't time or money to reproduce everything they wanted to use in the movie and still deliver the film to Sci-Fi on time. Epsilon 3 was a casualty of the FX screw up.
