JMS' Crusade as a standalone Sci-Fi series

[Leroy]

Basically, the idea would be to take the basic premise from Crusade, excise anything that connected said premise to B5 and its universe (characters, some themes and terminology, etc.), and release the series as its own entity.

I'm just not quite sure if that would work or not, and thought I'd get some opinions.

It did work and was quite good although this is the other way around its so old it predates star wars.

It's been my experience that taking someone else's story, changing all the names and setting it in your own fictional universe is generally refereed to as "plagiarism".

It's also called Robotech.

Depends how good a writer you are.
