BITE ME, YOU WOULD SAY HOW GOOD BSG IS! IT IS YOUR FLIPPING SHOW AFTER ALL! CHEAP SHOT ON STAR WARS.

eleventy-billion-million dollars vs. a couple hundred canadian ducats...

BTW technically there's nothing in BSG that couldn't exist in the Star Wars -universe.
They just might be in different galaxies

You're high right? Should have changed the name to SyHigh...or SyHy I guess. No way in hades BSG is better than Star Wars...especially The Holy Trilogy. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed BSG and I get that you guys are trying to be funny. Kinda missed the mark on that one.

And, of course in Star Wars all the dangling plot threads were conveniently tied up by the intervention of God... oh no, waitaminute that was BSG... a great series sunk by a crappy, cop-out ending.

While both BSG and SW require some suspension of disbelief, the whole "force" thing in SW is so inconsistent as to make it laughable. The issues that were dealt with in BSG put it head and shoulders above SW.
I love both, but there is really no comparison.
P.S. Unless you're talking the original BSG series, in which case SW kicks ass.

Past Episode 4,5,6 kicked the original Battlestar Galacticas ass.

Current 1,2,3 got its ass handed to them by the current Battlestar Galactica

I am a Die Hard StarWars fan and no offense to the others, but EP 1,2,3 should of remained on paper not on film.

Way to go SyFy...give nerds an excuse to rage and they will be all over it like a fat kid on a cup cake *rolls eyes*

:p

Speaking of missing the mark...Episodes 1-3! Episodes 4-6..Incredible writing and storytelling. Battlestar is right up there with it...the new series that is.

Why oh why must we insist on comparing things. Can't we just be happy we have two great SciFi epics and STFU!

Also, for all those here who are complaining about the God cop-out ending in BSG I have one word for you - Midichlorians! I'd rather have god be the over all answer to things than a microorganisim.

Everything now-a-days beats Star Wars to the ground. After watching Serenity when it hit dvd, I ended up throwing out Episode I, II, and III.

Star Wars is a child's movie compared to Stargate, Battlestar, Serenity, and Star Trek.

Star Wars bought the bullet once the prequels altered the original premise.

I 100% agree with this article and more that has not been said.

Star Wars is similar to Disney on ice.

Stargate, Battlestar, Serenity, and Star Trek are more intellectually sound, and they speak to a more mature audience.

Go Battlestar!

Reason # 6: Dialogue that has depth

Comparing the greatest motion picture series in history with an obscure TV show watched only by hard core basement dwelling no-lifers...

Way to go, Houston Press! Dilettantes!

You can't really compare the two. One youre dealing with 6 movies a cgi show, countless books, comics, video games, computer games, toys and merchandise, compared to a TV show with limited expansion asides from new tv show, and couple of movies and some merchandise.
Two, Star Wars is the kind of traditional scifi, while BSG was more on serious social issues and political and religious commentary, and really in the end scifi drama.
Three, both have their flaws, however the flaws in Star Wars have proven to be very profitble for George Lucas, since countless tv shows and movies use it to reference jokes via Robot Chicken, and Family Guy. So that whole thing with the storm troopers is actually funny and no secret but people kind of love it now.
Four BSG flaws mainly go near the end where it tries to give closure by giving out a cop out ending of, God works in mysterious ways or figure it out for yourself. Some people can live with that ending, others think thats total crap.
And finally and probably the most important is Five, Star Wars is more light hearted while BSG is a very serious drama, you just cant compare the two. George Lucas never really wanted to explore raping prisoners, suicide bombings, sex for that matter in the star wars movies. He wanted to make movies (well for money in the end) so that everybody could watch and see and love it or hate it. But BSG is a tv show that was made really for a specific audience.
So in the end this article is more for laughs, and really has no merits.

Mesa thinkin theysa have a point.

@o

I dont have a basement!!

BSG rules

Star Wars is also great but the prequals do suck bad.

Original Star Wars won 7 Oscars out of 11 nominations, got nominated for BEST PICTURE, held the all time box-office record for twenty years.

What did BSG do, besides throwing bunch of unexplained Deus ex machina BS at its audience?

For God's sake, even Enterprise reruns were more popular than this pretentious pile of poo.

This is what burnt everything Star Wars to the ground:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUsltuNO6l8

I'm not ever sure if I like the original trilogy anymore.

I get how important Star Wars was for the industry, but I don't get why people hate the new trilogy compared with the originals. They have the same hammy writing, the same cheesy acting, the same trite good vs evil story, the same silly warrior monk pastiche, the same brilliant music and equally awful aliens.

The only reason I prefer the originals is for the practical effects, but I completely can't stand any of them.

My god these comments are hilarious! And I thought that I had too much nerdrage.

pfft...Star Trek beats all y'all's butts any day of the week, twice on Sunday...

Now,let's see where the anticipated Caprica winds up on the scales...

Or is that in the trash can?

I think all of you fell for a very obvious trap. Syfy was trying to induce Nerd Rage to feed the evil demon spawn that runs the network. They need human rage to sustain themselves. That's the real reason this channel exists.

You should have seen my Nerdrage at the prospect of Syfy's new American version of Being Human. (Shudder). Because God knows there aren't any urban fantasies in America that scream for TV adaptations! They have to remake one that's already in existence and still going...

Geez, If you wanted to start a "nerd fight" why didn't you just say that Babylon 5 was better than DS9, or zombies should shuffle instead of run? Who cares which is better? They were both good until they got "reimagined" then they lost the fun and adventure that made everyone love them in the first place.

Oh, I'd *love* to see a BATTLESTAR GALACTICA HOLIDAY SPECIAL. All grim and depressing and camp at the same time as they attempt to celebrate their murdered civilization...it would be a pinnacle of bad television!

you guys are freeking out about a little thing. both BSG and SW are cool but i do have to say that BSG universe would be a little bit real then say the SW universe i mean come on dont think fire can burn in space but i gusee it can in George Lucius universe

This was an article from the Houston Press, not SyFy tooting their own horn.

I actually liked the Star Wars holiday special better than BSG.

STFU HOUSTON PRESS.

also, syfy, the bsg horse is quite dead. stop beating it. we get it. you had one pretty good show. congrats. let's move on.

Battlestar Galactica kicks Star Wars in the midichlorian pants.

hay whahaa! why dont you go back into your mommys basemeant and play WoW on your computer it was just an artical and by the way BSG is not done on SyFy i do belive they have a new show coming out called Caprica a prequal to BSG O by the way i like SW till GW made the prequals come on the dialog give me a break Uwe Boll could write better dialog ok bad example

haaaaaayyyyy tb83! i dig your style! i really like the way you took the same hilarious jab that's already everywhere on the internet and repeated it here. you even infused it with your own artistic spellings! bravo! be my frriiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeennd? do you like science fiction tv shows and movies? me too! we have a lot in common. i'm sure we'd get along. i don't play video games, but i can teach you how to sound less like a moron. call me! xoxoxo

SCREW SCIFIWIRE. WHAT THE HELL. NOT VISITING THIS SITE EVER AGAIN.

i would not be a friend to u whahaa if u paid me cause unlike u i dont freek out about an artical that takes jabs at Star Wars or any show for that mater but u keep telling people you dont play WoW im sure they belive u

You know what I don't get? Why does everyone pick on poor Jake Lloyd? the kid was like 9years old when Phantom was filmed and the casting people casted him, he didn't cast himself. You cant blame the crapiness of a movie on one little boy who was probably pushed into taking the part in the first place. Blame it on lucas for going VFX crazy rather than concentrating on story or plot or whatever. I still feel bad for him to this day for all those people who picked on that kid for suppoedly ruining the film. Shame shame.

tb83! hello again! you may not freeeeeeek out about an articaaaaaal like me, but you do great at freeeeeeking out about comments about articaaaaals. we're like two peas in a pod!

lol @ all the hard-core star wars fans in here. come on, bsg is newer, sleeker, and better written. star wars is a different animal. it's not bsg, and bsg is not star wars.

calm the frak down.

Thanks Syfy, for reminding me about the Star War Holiday Special. Now I'm going to have more nightmares about that. Only this time around, I might be dreaming about Jar-Jar Binks singing Jingle Bells.

good point whahaa it seems you have one this time O wait does that sound nerdy to u

haaayyy tb83! yes, very nerdy! mmm, soooo nerdy. you're getting me all hot and bothered!

glad i could help Star Wars 1,2 and 3 sucked peace out

bye tb83! be well! don't give up! things will get better for you! i promise!

Four words..Grace Parks, Tricia Helfer 'Nuff said.

tearemup couldnt agree with u more

I'm sorry but I am getting sick of these bullshit stories. I like the articles with babes boobs and gizmosbut now you're just trying to pick a fight. GET A GRIP SYFY

Negative, I like BSG but it's nowhere near in the same category.

Yeah, Right....

Well, at least Star Wars was created by someone who has written, directed, and produced Original Material he created himself...

Something the Moore Christ has N E V E R done.

And don't start pulling Virtuality out of your backside, unless you're ready to have the Moore Christ referred to as ACCUSED PLAGIARIST. Ask Joe Haldeman, the Writer of Old Twentieth, which Moore bagged for Virtuality.

Scifi is at it again. Hmm starwars has alot of fans wonder how many people are gonna boycott this site from just this.

First: Watch Optimus Prime get "F..KED" up.

Second: Why Battlestar kicks Star Wars' "ASS"!

Lot's of crude language being used lately.... Who writes these articles 9 year olds....

It has to be nine year olds. On their list of hottest witches they put MAB. Every self-respecting nerd knows Mab is a faery, not a witch.

Ron Moore's BSG sucked. End of story.
tb83, have you ever heard of capitolization or punctuation?

Um... shouldn't you put IMO.

Because I know a lot of people that think it was one of the best shows ever actually.

Wow Star WARS 1 2 and 3 were crap.

I do not know if i want to see the Original ones for a while now, i loved characters like Boba Fett, but he was crap in the prequals.

Bsg was a great show with great writing and suspense i would go with BSG.

A tongue-in-cheek joke really got the Star Wars Geeks panties in a bunch. You guys may have heard this a few time while waiting 3 weeks in line for Darth's new movie but.... GET A LIFE!! It's a joke. You guys act like they said jokes about your mother. Beside,everyone knows Star Trek beats the both. Aw damn, now I did it!

@leoben

Why are you so obsessed with me?

oh look, it's apples and oranges. mighty SLOW news day huh guys?

Sure is plenty of weak-minded comments on this but then again its the internet.

I love both the new BSG (Except the ending), I love all the star wars movies, that's right all of them, I am not one of those "OMG the prequels suck I am a tool that has to agree with everybody else do you like me now" moron types.

I also like star trek, old and new, and pretty much every scifi so yeah. I do hate the "Vs" people on the internet. More for me..

Despite its drawn out run, BSG is shiny and new and embraced by the vocal minority that slavor over all that's shiny and new. Wait a few more years and see how many still care about BSG and how many still care about Star Wars.

I agree 100%. George Losercust totally screwed up the last three Star Wars movies. He should had updated it for the time we live in. Like what Ron Moore did with BSG. George Losercust & Star Wars is so old school. Ron Moore & BSG is the way of the future.

The reasons for armor are, prevention of minor injuries along with supplying a uniformity of appearance. That item of the Storm-Troopers armor does do its role, with the prevention of minor injuries, along with uniformity of appearance. It's those minor injuries which need to be treated and cared for to prevent medical complications, which does eat up resources.

There is no Battlestar Galactica Holiday special however there is "the plan" and i am not sure which one is worse.

Both series are ridiculous. The first SW film was fun, but the concept couldn't sustain a series. BSG was also nonsense, especially the ending, but not even fun.

King of the Star Wars rip-offs and it's child? lol.

It's another slow news day at Sci-Fi Wire.

Yeah and I am GOD bow before me dumbbbb frells.

Oddly enough, Star Wars kicks SW's butt! There was romance [and no hint of her being his sister], there was a BIG Bad Guy [with no angsty- BS], there was the classic 'bad boy' for the women, there was a pretty tough chick for the guys, and NO MIDICHLORIANS!!!

First BSG was a marginal show on a less than marginal network. I mean really BSG never broke three million viewers a number that on any other network would not have made a second season and less on most. The ending was consistent with the original so bashing a supernatural element is kind of out of place.

I watched both SW and BSG and believe they were written to different audiences with SW being popular with a much larger younger group.

The sad truth is the audience for Science Fiction is so divided and angry all the time most shows can not get enough of a following to be successful enough to last very long. SW was also able to get a general audience so it has been able to support several movies, books and other kinds of products. BSG barely was able support one series and the question of Capria is yet to be determined.

BSG was more for a purist audience, small but vocal. SW was for a general audience that voted by buying products, movies, games and lots and lots of other merchandise. BSG made statements, SW made money. Enough said!

I loved both, for different reasons.

I like both, BSG and Star Wars as I grew up with both. The Cylons both old and new are kinda like walking KIT cars from Knight Rider, but the human Clyons are cool and any of them could win in a cat fight with both Leia and Armadillo!

i have never saw so many nerds cry so hard, for those who think star wars is the end all and be all of science fiction, go suck it!!!! Boba Fett is a douche.
the only worthy star wars is the robot chicken spoofs. now go run along and play with your Boba Fett variant dolls. Galactica was awesome, except for the last 45 minutes of the last episode, that sucked hard.

Guide to Star Wars: Do not watch anything before episode 4.

Guide to Galactica: Do not watch anything made after the writer's strike.

Galactica`s BS 'It`s all God`s Plan' ending ruined it for me.

I still have high praise for the production values. the acting, and assorted plot elements, but the Sum is not the equal of those Parts.

Religion it would seem, is not only the opiate of the masses, but the refuge of slack writers.

Good Night, Ronald D. Moore...and may flights of Angelic Viper Pilots sing thee to thy rest....

Didn't the original BSG have supernatural elements to???

Ron Moore is not as dumb as people say.

Seems some1 was butthurt about everyone hating the SW prequals, sorry dude its not copying others, they just sucked really really bad.

I love SW (both old and new trilogy). I don't care what you or others say. SW rules. ST and BSG are no match for them. You can see SW effects even in politics. But what about BSG? don't compare them. George Lucas did a great job, respect.

Nuclear fission? I'm not a science person, but why is fission a big deal. We have that now. In our universe. Isn't fusion what we want and what BSG has?

First of the first season of BSG was better than SW EP 1-3. However if your a real scifi fan. Than you would know that Dune kicks Starwars out of the door(SW was inspired by Frank Herbert.)

its not exactly difficult to beat moronic space-fantasy like Star wars, afterall its nothing more than a poor-mans Dune really. I'll stick with Dune myself, its actually good.

Perhaps if Star Wars created a weekly television action/drama based on the KoTR we would be able to compare these two. But while BSG is good, I find the sets to be less impressive then those seen in any episode of Farscape. BSG does have a good cast, but trying to say it out-does the Star Wars saga is like trying to say that Batman Begins was a better movie then the original Christopher Reeves Superman. Both were great in their own respects.

Look, I never watched BSG, I grew up on Star Wars, the prequels have problems, 3 is better than Jedi, whatever; I come here to write smart ass comedic comments and generally try to understand why JJ Abrams hates us all by making us wait 7 and 1/2 months for Star Trek on BluRay. Most of the other things he does also shows he intensely hates each and every one of us personally, but I digress. I try to stay out of the ranks of supernerdom by not really caring about things like this, but the line of simple human decency has been crossed and I am seething with the unimaginable rage of a million angry demons.

Boba Fett is NOT a douche and I will call a hit on the next person that says he is.

Carry on with whatever this discussion is about.

*YAWN*

Reason number 7: George Lucas didn't write BSG's dialogue

@Revan - do a Google search for "BSG at the UN", you'l find BSG's real world influences on politics. The only political thing SW did was contribute a name to an ill-advised US missile defense system in the 80's.

You better come up with a better top five list than that. I'd make this challenge you guys at Sy Fy put your money where your blow hole is and put out a theatrical movie and then lets compare receipts I bet you could take anyone of the 6 Star Wars films and BSG wont come close to making the money a Star Wars film can make.

I know, let’s get Ron Moore to re-imagine SW episode’s 1, 2 and 3.

Really can't compare the two. Star Wars is sword and sorcery tarted up with a sci-fi backdrop. BSG is sci-fi.

athelred, Even better, let's encourage Ron Moore to really do something really special, and create something original for once in his career!!!!

He's never done that before. Maybe he can finally "Put Up or Shut Up" about all that hoohaa about his "Genius"

Star wars > star trek, anyone who says other wise go speak klingon. next off there is no comparison to BSG and star wars except for the original.

While we're at it, let's compare Aliens to E.T. ... That's about as valid as this discussion.

This was a silly idea SyFy.

Sci fi fans are really the worst fans. Always bitching and moaning. Why does everything need to be compared?
I like the Star wars prequels much more that i like the others.
And BSG isn't as good as everyone tries to make it out to be. A decent show but not all that great.

Bsg is great imo, dont care what people like above say about it its a great story!

CHEAP SHOT ON STAR WARS???? You are kidding right? The commercial sellout series of all time? Short of only [the original first] 2 films, the majority are cheap shots aim'd at the millions of sub-human intellectuals who were sucked into horrible over-acting, repugnant screenwriting, yet killer 'spare no expense' SPX. Pity a Raptor didn't eat him after the second film was done. HELL, Lucas didn't even write or direct "The Empire Strikes back"! It was based loosely on his High Concept storyline.

Right now, at the height of his popularity, Lucas could have just put Nimrodic nakid chicks on the screen playing to 1960's style SPX and fanboi's would still jump for joy and continue to want to give his bloated azz a hummer.

BSG just became too stupid in the end. After Adama retook the ship in what looked like a Michale Jackson-like video (everyone coming out of the wood work and marching behind him???) I could not watch anymore. Great leader -sells out humanity to a bunch of machines. Thats the guy I want to follow. Star Wars at least demonstrated integrity in its leadership.

BSG better written? Ive written better endings on toilet paper. Star wars will always be the sci fi movie to beat. No re imagined BSG angle's are going to save us ending will change that.

Lee385, I've seen football fans smash TVs & break their kids' arms when their favorite team loses a game. Sports fans are truly the worst, not sci-fi fans.

I vote SW.

and mainly because the new BSG didn't follow the original BSG...come on Starbuck is a guy not a girl WTF!

stop talking bad about Star Wars! I like BSG, but i love SW!!!!

Sub-human intellectuals, horrible over-acting, repugnant screenwriting, Nimrodic nakid chicks. Sounds like a Saturday Syfy movie.
What the heck,... I have nothing better to watch.

Battlestar is a religious fuckup. Fuck christians and their mission!

i'm a scifi addict, i love SW and i hail the empire but...well...BSG is the best frakkin' series of all the ages

Um...as to point 5, thermonuclear weapons work on the principle of nuclear FUSION, not fission. But you can balance that little goof by pointing out that BSG has no ewoks. I don't think it's a fair comparison; a classic fantasy trilogy that invented the genre of space opera vs. a ground-breaking television series based on an early carbon copy of said trilogy. Both have merits and demerits. Star Wars became a self joke because its creator decided to produce 3 sub par prequels that were primarily commercials for ILM rather than actual movies, and BSG started out as naturalistic science fiction and ended with god, which by definition cannot exist in a natural universe. I can't choose.

Well the writing has been down hill since you became gayfy sorry syfy. The force was way more consistant than bsg fairy angels. And the crappy ships in bsg doesnt hold a candle to the ships in sw. But lets just say why people like bsg no plot just people f@#@ing im sorry fraking each other(and wasnt that idea ripped off from farscape(frell, dren,etc)) and everyone else around them. alcholic and drug addicts running the damn army/navy. Yeah thats keeping it real. Oh yea and the bs ending on bsg that came about when the producers jumped out to go "network" with the bionic women(wow that lastedlong). Oh and the cylons hit everything they shoot out. I seem to remember rebels strewn all ove the tantive IV and the battle at hoth. But you know a movie about classic stereotypes and themes about family and redemption dont matter lets watch every just frak each other and tehn come back from the dead as a cylon or ghost to lead peopl to earth. And the obscene usage of stock footage aside the old bsg was way better than the new bsg. And let me say id rather watch stock footage over and over than watch an epileptic cameraman film ships flying. May the force be with us and the original bsg. Crap on bsg the plan.

Quote;
~~Um... shouldn't you put IMO.

Because I know a lot of people that think it was one of the best shows ever actually.~~

I figured most people were smart enough to realize it was my opinion.

Don't Frak With The Force...May The Force Be With You.

BSG is better :O

And not that original crap either

This is really hard to compare. You have a movie geared toward a General audience and the kid in all of us, and a movie geared for adults, showing a real life view of things. So, head to head... not possible!

5) Nuclear fission exists in the BSG universe.

Why the hell would the Star Wars society use something that primitive. They have power sources that generate enough energy to destroy planets. Just imagine how much energy a city planet like Courscant or Nar Shada would take to keep running. Nuclear fission couldnt keep up with the demands.

4) The colonists had a better democracy.

Um, yeah - that was kind of the POINT of the series?

3) BSG's women aren't just pretty princesses.

2) There is no Battlestar Galactica Holiday Special.

Nope, but it did have Galactica: 1980, a FAR worse crime against humanity.

1) Cylons occasionally hit what they're aiming at.

Um, so you missed the scenes where the Clonetroopers were cutting down Jedi like so much wheat? Or that the Stormtroopers on the Death Star were ordered to let Luke et al go? Or how they stormed the fortified rebel position on the blockade runner and only took two losses?

Original BSG is better. SW is better. ST is better. Dr. Who is better. Hell, even Buck Rogers (original & 25th Century) is better. If i want to see drama I'll watch Days of our Lives.

The new BSG should of been called Cylon. It was more about which Cylon was going to pop out of the wood work next, than it was was about the journey of the Galactica. Ever notice that there were no aliens or other civilations in the Galaxy other than the Galactica Fleet. It should of been about their journey and how they got to Earth and what they encountered along the way; not who was was going to be the next Cylon or what BS drama we could drum up next. The original had action, little drama, and was light hearted. That was the way the new one should of been. It is a show. The good guys should of won in the end and ALL should of lived happily ever after.

Btw, folks. All of you b*tching at scifi for this article should realise that it was written by the Houton Press. Just sayin'.....

Star wars is for kids and BSG is for adults. So all you middle age men (star wars fans), you need to grow up, get laid and move out of your mothers basement. Like what William Shatner said on SNL way back in the 1980s, ''GET A LIFE''!!!!!!!!

Wow1! It is sad that someone would even come up with this article. The latest Battlestar was okay but can't even come close to be compared to Star Wars.

Battlestar had too many mistakes from casting to how slow the show was. They focuses on things that no one really cared about. It also failed to live up to the original Battlestar.

No matter what Battlestar fans say, the fact that there a so little Battlestar fans in comparison to Star Wars just kills any argument you give.

Star Wars Episode 1 and 2 and Battlestar series could have been so much better than what they were. Star Wars Episode 3 and the original 3 Star Wars easily trump Battlestar.

StarWars - We stood in lines that stretched blocks, had a good time, and walked away from the first movies feeling like something good happened in our lives. Oh and it made hundreds of millions of dollars.

BSG - we watched tv, saw humanity get wacked by robots, robots had human babies (yea I know clones with nanobite me), and only won an emmy. Oh and it did not make hundreds of millions.

Tech aside - Star wars used lasers - BSG still uses bullets and nukes.

Please start writing interesting news instead of crapolas.

Wow! The photo of Six and Boomer is quite different than the one gracing the cover of FHM. :-)

You forgot #6... the finale of the series didn't leave you feeling like a 5 year old that was being forced to kiss Aunt Gertrude.

ok, but the ability of a Cylon is insignificant compared to the power of the force!

Star Wars is perfect for 10 year olds and those with 10 year old brains. BSG is far better and not full of stupid aliens created just to market to the 10 year olds.

Babylon 5 was better than either one!

So it makes you feel better about your self to tell others they need to "get laid" and move out of mommys?

That way you dont have to work hard to give a large portion of your money to ridiculous taxes.

I personally think its a good idea to stay home as long as you can, instead of you know marrying when your to young some crazy woman [not all women] and having her divorce you which happens at about 50% of marriages.

star wars SUCKS?

The Ron Moore Show for for Dysfunctional, Forever Emo types, who thrive on Soap Operas, and who suffer from very little in the way of imagination.

Being Adult is recognizing the need for Imagination.

Sadly, if the Professional Re-Writer (and Accused Plagiarist) who penned Ron Moore's Galactica-In-Name-Only had any real imagination, he would have been able to create something Original in the first place, and we'd never have to be bothered with these ridiculous discussions

@callahan

I liked the show well and im not emo and i dont like soaps or whatever else, no one is saying its better than babylon 5 or trek but it was good storys especially the first couple seasons.

The odds of Star Wars fanatics not freaking out over this comparison are approximately seven-hundred and fifty million to one!

Star Wars is the most overrated pile of turd ever created. The original trilogy is pretty good (for a trilogy of children's movies,) but when you take it as a whole, including the new trilogy and all the semi-official extended universe crap, it really is terrible.

Truth hurts.

mister_d?

Get back to us when Ron Moore ever creates something Original.

By Original I mean something that didn't start out in someone else's word processor, or just wasn't lifted entirely from someone else's book.

Then get back to us when Ron Moore achieves the same level of acclaim as George Lucas has from his Original creations.

Sorry Junior, but Facts hurt even worse

Yes folks it is quite hilarious to watch do^chebags like Callahan pee their panties over this Houston Press article. How dare anyone attack their religion! But here's the best part - all of the BSG bashers diss it because God/Angels actually play thematic roles whose interactions impact the BSG universe and we all know how atheists/secular humanists crap themselves over that. But here's the great and hilarious irony: their divine god-man Lucas relied on the mysterious and supernatural force for all 6 episodes. And the three movies that the nerdish devotees love the most are the ones in which the force is purely Deus ex machina. Ouch. LMAO

Ahhhhh, isn't that cute, Ron Moore's favorite little Butt Monkey McTex has galloped in to protect the Moore Christ with his Bill O'Rielly/Mann Coulter crap about Atheist/Secular Humanist argument flapping in the proverbial breeze.

Sadly Tex, you failed to confront one key thing about your "precious", He has never created anything Original. Zippo, Nada, bupkis. Even his supposed magnum opus Virtuality was pulled almost intact from Joe Haldemann, enough so FOX opted to avoid getting sued.

Sorry Tex, while I know you enjoy rubbing Moore's leg raw, you need to face the facts. On one hand, you have George Lucas, a successful Writer, Director, and Producer, who has built a spectacular career with a legacy of Motion Picture and Television (we won't even get into Live stage, or Theme Park attractions) Blockbusters enjoyed and treasured the world over.

Then we have Ron Moore. A Professional Re-Writer and Accused Plagiarist, who has built his career being lifted up and supported by sycophantic coltish fanbois, like McTex...

Sorry Tex, but I think I'll put my money on Lucas.

But thanks for playing.

First of all, Letterman counts down from 10 to 1, so in what way is this reverse?

In what way is having fission a point of pride?

At least there weren't any angels in Star Wars. I hope you do a follow up with five of the reasons Star Wars is better than BSG.
