When Star Wars arrived in 1977, it didn't just change cinema, it
quietly killed a $9 million Logan's Run sequel before it had a chance.

In this Golden Flicker investigation, we uncover the full inside story
of the Logan's Run TV series: the behind-the-scenes battles with
legendary sci-fi writers D.C. Fontana and David Gerrold, the erased Lifeclocks, the blatantly recycled Carousel footage, and the brilliant unfilmed ending that almost saved everything.

Television executives had gambled big. $9 million and a 14-episode run
to bring Logan's Run back to the small screen. But crippling budget constraints, a fractured writers' room, and the cultural shockwave of
Star Wars turned this promising dystopian series into one of the most magnificent failures in 1970s sci-fi history.

We expose the Star Trek connection that tried to rescue it, the lost merchandise that never made it to shelves, and why this forgotten
series left a transatlantic legacy still echoing today.
