Films from the original series were not only, but there were three “Star Way”, which was held almost simultaneously: “Star: Next generation”, “Star Way: Deep Space Nine” and “Star Way: Voyager”. There were some great moments to cover between different shows, creating a common universe that became richer with each new addition. Not only this, but also the use of the franchise in Time Travel facilitated the crossover between all epochs, like Captain James T.
