When 20th Century Fox took Universal to court over Battlestar Galactica I thought maybe there was more to it that met the eye.

At one point I was beginning to think that George has explained some of his saga plans (back when the myth that he had plans was still strong) to John Dykstra (to get him thinking about how to pull it all off) only to have him sell the ideas to a rival.

Look how many elements of Battlestar Galactica (cheesy as it was) ended up in the saga as a whole.

The rag-tag fleet, hordes of killer battle droids lead by a rebellious Count being used as a springboard for a war started by 'the devil' in the guise of a bringer of peace in troubled times.

Maybe the whole point of setting Star Wars a long time ago in a galaxy far far away was to get them to be our forefathers.

Nah...

It is ironic that many of the things we see in the PT were later done in a more compelling way in nuBSG.

The Cylon Centurions are much more menacing that the PT Battledroids.

The semi sentient Cylon Raiders are much better than the PT Vulture Droids.

The old Galactica was seen as a cheesy rip-off of Star Wars where as the PT is now seen as cheesy and the nuGalactica won critical acclaim and has more nerd appeal.
