Somebody had to come first. In what most folks consider the "modern era of space opera" that would be StarWars. Galactica wasn't a direct rip-off of Star Wars as it was in development before SW hit theatres, but Star Wars DID loosen the purse strings of many studios and set the tone for the amazing visual effects bills that would be arriving as a result of their forays into space opera.

Tear them both down to their basic structure and the two are completely dissimilar.

Look at them on the surface, and they appear to be "kissin' cousins".
