Battlestar Galactica

George Lucas and 20th Century-Fox sued the producers over alleged similarities with La guerra de las galaxias (1977). The show was re-worked from its original pilot to capitalize on the film's popularity, employing the same special effects team and the same concept designer. The lawsuit was dismissed in 1980, Fox appealed, and the case was settled out of court in 1983.

The humans' terms for time measurement appear to be simple replacements, as explained on the Trivia page - "micron" = second; "centon" = minute; and "centar," "secton," "sectar" and "yahren" corresponded respectively to hour, week, month and year - the term "centon" is the most used, often in a context that cannot possibly mean a minute: "He should have been in bed centons ago," "A route that will take us centons out of our way," etc.

Two episodes were edited together to form the made-for-video movie Mission Galactica: The Cylon Attack. In syndication, the series incorporates the episodes of "Galactica 1980" (1980).

Edited into Galáctica: astronave de combate (1978)
