Default Re: 01: Saga Of A Star World

Many yahrens ago I posted a idea for what I'd like to see done with a remake/reboot/redo/whatever. It went something like this:

You will have three parts, a minimum of an hour devoted to development of each segment/act.

ACT I: Background. Here we would see the colonies. Meet characters, be filled in on the 12 worlds, their history, &tc.

ACT II: The Armistice/Cylon invasion. Act I would lead organically into Act II, where we'd see FLEET BATTLES. The Colonies don't just have 5 Battlestars. They have cruisers, fighters, et al. The Cylons would probably take a beating. Let's take a page from American history and have CADETS fly up to meet the invaders, or something.

ACT III: Exodus/Carillon. Bigger, better, bolder. Make Carillon the den of hedonistic depravity it should be. And, oh yeah, NO PLANETS BLOWING UP. (We don't want Lucas filing another lawsuit.)

ACT IV. Technically this would be the outro. Keep it short and sweet and allow it to set the stage for future movies but allow there also to be a sense of closure.

Or something like that.
