Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ended in 1999 after 7 seasons but didn’t jump into feature films like The Next Generation. Here’s why.

    Financial reasons played a major role in the lack of a DS9 movie, as the sets for the show were extremely expensive and surpassed those of TNG.

    wonder if they can make a budget utilising the backdrop live screen that is used in the “mandalorian” and the “ashoka” starwars movie today

      IMO, it wouldn’t work well.

      The DS9 set was complicated. You had obstructions and levels. Those would need to be replicated with green screen props and they tend to not bother with those. At best you’ll get uncanny valley like the Romulan Bridge in S1 Picard. Works for a specific scene, but isn’t something to dwell in.

      Wouldn’t that be fantastic? I doubt Brooks would want to be involved though.
