    It would be interesting to see a BSG DVD movie that takes you back to that period.


    It was dumb of Ron Moore and David Eick to push off the idea of more movies. But then maybe they figured everyone would be so disgusted by the fourth season that no one would want to see anymore.

    Maybe Vader was one of the first hybrids?

    @c0dek:


    LOL.


    So that's the connection between Star Wars and BSG.

    Guys. Isn't it pretty common knowledge that Darth's whole look was samurai inspired?

    @Garrison Dean: R.O.A.C.H.: Star Wars is a mix of a western and Japanese storyline. I just can't remember which films inspired it.

    @Garrison Dean: R.O.A.C.H.:

    No cause George Lucas invented everything himself and original. Star Wars was not inspired by various good and bad WW2 movies, 1940s movie serials, Kurosawa films or the Japanese movie, The Hidden Castle. No siree, not one damned bit. /end snarky fanboy reply


    Sadly, the one character that was a true Lucas original was Jar-Jar Binks.
