Newly engaged and expectant parents John Crichton (Ben Browder) and Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black) have been chased around the galaxy, have fallen in love and now all they want is for their baby to be born and live in peace. However, when a full-scale war is engaged by the evil Scarran Empire, the Peacekeeper Alliance has but one hope -- reassemble human astronaut John Crichton, once sucked into the Peacekeeper galaxy through a wormhole. Crichton's task: Get the entire Peacekeeper race to safety before the last war of era brings an end to the universe.   Editor's Note The continuation and conclusion of the popular FARSCAPE series, broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel from 1999 to 2004, THE PEACEKEEPER WARS picks up where the series left off. John Crighton and Aeryn Sun have decided to marry, but are immediately blown to pieces by an alien ship at the close of the ceremony. Luckily, Rygel picks up the pieces and reassembles the couple; but now Rygel is the one carrying their child. Elsewhere, all-out war is declared between the Peacekeepers and the Scarrans, and although Crighton and Aeryn just want to get married and live happily ever after, half-breed Peacekeeper Scorpius and Scarran Emperor Staleek are still covetous of Crighton's wormhole knowledge. They hope to use it as a weapon, and as the battles rage on, Crighton becomes the determining factor of the war's outcome. Tying up all the loose ends of the series, this feature provides a satisfactory conclusion for even the most ardent fan, with all of the original cast present, and a recreation of the look and feel of the show.   Features "The Making Of The Peacekeeper Wars" 30 Minute Documentary Audio: English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound Interactive Menus Scene Selection Spacecraft Gallery And Much More!

This is a wonderful continuation of the series the fans fought so hard to save; a true labor of love. A must have for any Sci Fi affcionado. It's full of action, drama, comedy and romance - just like the rest of the series but on an even grander scale. I have to say, however, that the Buy.com synopsis is chock full of inaccuracies. The Peacekeepers aren't the ones wanting to reassemble John & Aeryn, their friends are. And Crichton and the rest of Moya's crew want peace for everyone's sake, not just the Sebacean race.

This is the one we've all been waiting for... the season that wasn't to be, now resurrected as a spectacular four hour mini-series movie. And is it ever worth the wait! The story line completes the series beautifully, and will not disappoint! A must have for any serious Farscape fan.
