Everybody can create and sell toys of dinosaurs or megafaun from the ice age, but Jurassic Park, Tyco's Dino-Riders or Playmobil's Dino Rise are trademark.  You can sell figures of an hairy alien, but wookies or ewoks are trademark by Lucasfilm. Hasbro wants D&D settings to become multimedia franchises, selling different types of products, not only sourcebooks.We can agree Spelljammer was not an alpha setting, it wasn't in the list of the most popular ones, but this doesn't mean it can't have a potential as future cash-cow.A mash-up crossover of DC's Legion of Superheroes and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy within Spelljammer? It a crazy idea, but you could safe it would be bought by speculators. Spelljammer-Star Trek crossover? Yes, here you can blame Q as possible responsible. Power Rangers-Spelljammers? And here I can say an explanation about because the zords are dinosaurs. It is a old tradition to use native animals to avoid cultural shock if these were accidentally watched by primitive civilitations, and extinted species to avoid accidental misundertanding about signs of omens because a giant metallic creature is like the heraldic shield of this or that feudal lord, or the tribal totem. * Hasbro doesn't want to sell toys only, but to become an entertaiment empire, like Disney, but also a videogame developer (Nintento, Electronic Arts, Blizzard Activision..), and now a famous IP is one of the main hooks to sell new titles. * <a href="https://pdsh.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Alien_Species" target="_blank">Now some aliens races/species from pulp age are public-domain</a> (and then this could appear as D&D creatures, in the same way the Lovecraftian monsters in Pahtfinder).* Could Paizo or a 3PP to publish a Spelljammer version of Starfinder PC races? <img src="https://srd.dndtools.org/srd/resource/images/races/racesDramagInsectare.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="width: 228px" /><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/18ed95ce43faaac8babc7e051fcd9d92/tumblr_inline_p83x9e1Npy1r0zz7o_500.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="width: 227px" /></blockquote>
