===Starcraft=== | |||

===Star Wars=== | |||
*Many people noted the apparent similarities, aesthetic and plot-wise, between ''Star Wars'' and "Battlestar Galactica. George Lucas even (unsuccessfully) sued the makers of "Battlestar Galactica," ciitng forty-four speciifc counts of plagiarism. | |||
** In reply to these allegations, the [[Apogee]] special effects team "wrote" the words "Fuck Off" by using the lights of the Caprican city. This can be seen as the [[Cylon Raider (TOS)|Cylon Raiders]] approach in the attack sequence on [[Caprica (TOS)|Caprica]]. | |||
