As I ponder the Star Blazers/Battlestar Galactica connection another thought came to mind:
In Star Blazers the humans did not know where the homeworld of the alien race was. In Moore's universe the colonials do not know where the cylon homeworld is. In Star Blazers a mystical being guides the humans to the planet "Iskandar" where the cosmo DNA is located to save the Earth. Unknown to the humans, "Iskandar" is also "Gamalon (?)" the home world of the alien race. The humans think they are evading the aliens on their way to "Iskandar" while in reality they are heading to the heart of the enemy the entire time.
What if the Galactica in Moore's universe is being herded by elements within the cylon empire (if such a thing exist) or the beings of light directly to the cylon homeworld in order to destroy the cylons and save humanity. I already speculate that some or all of the cylons seem to be herding the Galactica as opposed to actively trying to destroy them. Maybe the series will be a "reimagination" of the Star Blazers story. Star Blazers was a dark story filled with an interior story of the relationships of the main characters--Nova and Wildstar (Starbuck and Apollo?) inside a military expedition space opera.
Maybe Cylon 6, Boomer, and Boxey are really cylon rebels launching their own war against the cylon homeworld and the Galactica and crew are their weapons.
