Paramount was thinking of doing a new TV series of Star Trek with the orignal cast. That changed With Star Wars. As far as Battlestar, all the special effects were from the same people who pioneered the effects of Star Wars, So the effects were from that time period.

And of course Lucus barked that Battlestar was a carbon copy of his idea. Thus resulted the death of Galactica. I say no way are the same, but in order to come up with new ideas , writers always are influenced by history or events that they use. Like the sneak attack of Pearl Harbor idea that was used in Galactica.

Ower problem is ,if Galactica was like Star Trek would it have been doomed? Or a copy? So is Babylon 5 like DS 9 ?

Its like cars When Mercedes & BMW come out with new styles all manufactures try to capture the style for there products.
Does that mean it's bad? Is Robocop like Terminator? Different themes but same principls?!

no?

I say BSG got the short end of the stick & should of continued!!!!!!!!!!!
