What the result was of the Lucas suit against BG's producers. Comments by the actors on the Region 1 DVD of the complete series seem to indicate it was settled with BG agreeing to make certain adjustments to the show, but since the commentary was recorded 25 years after the fact that could be just a guess. Anyone know? Ellsworth 17:48, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
The lawsuit was dismissed by the judge as being "without merit" in 1980. See: http://www.brian-oshaughnessy.com/scifi/Battlestar-Galactica.html (and search text for "Lucas"). User:BillCook October 5, 2004
- Hmm, the link you put directs to a fansite which doesn't contain any source citations. So if someone can come up with another source I'd say this could still be open to debate.
However, the fansite's point that BG's biggest rip-off of Lucas was that they were ripping off his being a rip-off, is well taken. Lucas brazenly stole from Tolkien, Kurosawa, Leni Riefenstahl and the list goes on for days. Ellsworth 22:43, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
