About "The Road Home" Compendium
- Babylon 5 expert Jason Davis wrote the introduction and all the entries.
- A compilation of encyclopedia-like entries from the animated movie.
- 95 entries total, many of which include images.
- Entries referenced by “timeline”; for example, an [I] in an entry refers to the first timeline.
Why no script for The Road Home?
Because Warner Animation, unlike Warner Studios, does not allow writers’ scripts to be published.
Is the compendium considered canon?
Yes and no. Because of the “alternate timelines” in The Road Home, J. Michael Straczynski does not consider The Road Home primary canon, but he does consider it “additional canon” that should be grouped on its own.

About the Extra Canonical Data
- 163 extra-canonical footnotes
- Extra-canonical data comes from script drafts, cut footage, and production documents.
- Not included in the print editions due to page count limitations.
- Displayed as inline footnotes while you read.
This deleted scene from “A Distant Star” contributed extra-canonical data to both Keffer’s and Rafelli’s entries, despite being cut from the episode.
