After Roland Emerich said, "No, thanks" to the TV -extension of his modest hit on the Starghat box office, the shot set up whatever it was. The network brought Brad Wright and Athonatan Glasser to create what became "Stargat SG-1", and as it turned out, this was just the beginning of what became one of the most widespread scientific empires from the early 2000s.

"SG-1" eventually moved to the scientific canal (now SHIF), but the network canceled the play after its tenth season. However, until that point, she has already challenged the spin-off series "Stargat Atlantis", which debuted in 2004, along with several direct TV films. Come come more spin-off-offs, and Stargate Universe debuted in 2009 and "Stargate Origins" arriving in 2018.

Then, then, the Stargate Universe is impressive. But just because the franchise was growing, it doesn't mean that things were drawing exactly how Wright and Glasser had hoped. For one thing, after the "Stargat Universe" was stripped out of the air, Wright planned for what became A. canceled film "Starghat" that will collect every show together. Perhaps more importantly, it will conclude Clifanger's end to the "universe", with crew member Eli Wallace "(David Blue) Fate remained unconfirmed.

But this film could also provide us with the closure of another story that, though not as successive as Wallace's story, remains something like Clifancher itself.

The fourth season of Stargate SG-1 appeared an episode titled "2010", in which we see an alternative timetable in which the country formed an Alliance with an advanced humanoid race known as Ashen. The seemingly well -intentioned race soon reveals a more malicious purpose, however, as they quietly sterilized people in order to take the planet one day. Fortunately, the SG-1 crew managed to get a message back on time to their past, avoiding the convicted future shown in the episode.

But that was not the end of Ashen. In season 5, the race returned for an episode entitled "2001". This time, SG-1 encountered Ashen on the planet Volia and once again forms an alliance. But as the episode continues, the crew reveals that their new allies can be greeted by the planet itself, they were warned not to visit it in "2010". Fortunately, the crew gave an Ashen list of Stargate addresses that lead to more dangerous locations, starting with a black hole. After the SG-1 managed to escape the country, they seal the closed portal, leaving viewers to ask what happened from Ashen and whether they really used that list of Deadly Stargate addresses.

According to Brad Wright, there were plans to continue the story of Ashen - especially since their fate remained hanging in balance. Although they failed to conquer the country during their two appearances, the probability that they were completely erased after the SG-1 escape in "2001" seemed thin. So what did they do in the last five seasons on the show? Unfortunately, "SG-1" was not a very kind of show where things always went on a plan. At one point, TEAL actor, Christopher referee, set aside a spin-off that will change the franchiseAnd "SG-1" was constantly dealing with what proved to be a huge problem Finding new locations for the recording of various foreign worlds often leads to last minute decision -making. Ashen also fell a victim of constantly changing the nature of the show, and the question of what happened with the 2001 race went unanswered, despite Wright's plans to deal with it.

Plans for various Stargate films continued during the 10-year SG-1 game. Indeed, A classic episode "SG-1" even should have been a theater movie. However, the plans were constantly changing and that was certainly the case with Ashhen.

In an interview in 2023 with GateBrad Wright was asked about Ashen and rumors that their story was initially planned to cover three episodes. The creator of the show seemed to have confirmed such rumors, saying that the story of Ashen "could" be "in a trilogy, adding:" I could probably come up with another Achen story. Because they would be angry at what we did after them "2001." "For regret, that story has never been wrapped, with Wright explaining that his idea of ​​the third entry into the trilogy is too close to another story that ended in one of the films with direct-DVD" Stargat ". He said:

"The story that came to my mind about Ashen coming directly without Stargat on Earth ended as a component of one of the films with direct video ... Indirectly. I mean, I can't even say that's the same.

According to Wright, one of the films "Stargate" basically used his idea of ​​Ashen to come to Earth after their defeat in "2001", probably to war against humanity an old -fashioned way, rather than using their slow sterilization technique. But that does not mean that he could not have another idea. After SG-1 was canceled, there were still the prospects for other direct-video films. Unfortunately, that perspective slowly went down as time went on, with Wright explaining that "it was a purely collapse of the DVD -Market that caused those projects." If DVDs remained popular, we would not only have Wright's film united all the "Starghat" plays, we might have seen the final of the Achen narrative. However, as it stands, it is one of the stories "SG-1" that remained hanging.
