An open message to @AmazonMGMStudio We want Stargate back. But more importantly, we want you to understand why we want it back. There is a concern among many long-time fans that the value of the Stargate franchise is being viewed primarily as its basic premise and brand recognition, rather than the incredible universe that has already been built. Stargate 1994 movie was just the beginning. A small window. Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe didn't simply tell variations of the same story. Together, they created a vast mythology, established characters, countless worlds, civilisations, technologies, mysteries and decades of history. That history isn't baggage. It's the franchise's greatest asset. We aren't asking you to simply recreate SG-1. We aren't asking for endless nostalgia or a carbon copy of what came before. We want something new. Give us new characters. New teams. New worlds. New threats. New mysteries. But don't throw away the universe that makes those new stories possible. There is no reason why a new series can't be accessible to someone discovering Stargate for the first time while still respecting the people who have been watching, supporting and talking about this franchise for decades. In fact, that would be Stargate's greatest strength. You don't have to choose between new audiences and existing fans. You can bring people into the franchise by giving them a compelling new story — while rewarding longtime viewers who understand the history behind the universe. So please don't look at Stargate and see something that needs to be rebooted simply because it's old. Look at what you've inherited. Look at the enormous universe that is already there. And then ask yourselves: “Where can we take this next?” That's the Stargate we want. Not a replacement. Not an erasure. A continuation. An expansion. A new chapter in a universe we already love. Amazon MGM — please listen to the fans. Don't reboot the universe. Explore it. #SaveStargate
