BEHIND THE SCENES: THE DERELICT TANKER...

An ominous looking derelict Cylon Tanker looms in space above the old moon Cimtar, as seen in this intriguing conceptual art design by Joe Johnston for Saga of a Star World, and whose frontage bears more of a Cylon Raider feel about it.

 

BEHIND THE SCENES: EVIE's TRANSFORMATION...

Much as we loved seeing Muffey on screen, it must have been tough behind the scenes time for the lovely Evie the Chimp when inhabiting the robot creature during her time on Galactica. Hopefully, animal standards in filming were in force for her during the series filming. 

EVERYONE'S A WINNER!

At that intergalactic Vegas in space that is the Carillon Casino, Starbuck is making the most of his luck on the tables, and with the women in his life too, as Athena cuddles up to the successful warrior, in a great moment from Saga of a Star World that was part of the Alan J. Levi re-shoot sequences - note Starbuck's different hair style.

COMING SEPTEMBER 2026: 'BATTLESTAR GALACTICA - THE CLASSIC SERIES SOUNDTRACK COLLECTION'...

Finally, the entire collected score from Stu Phillips for the classic series is being made available from those fine, score-loving folks at Intrada as the show's Fiftieth Anniversary approaches. For sure, this classy box set will be a swift sell-out for fans and music enthusiasts worldwide.

More official info via FACEBOOK: 'A few more details since people have been asking. First, the set will retail for $129.99. This is not a reissue; Mike Matessino has rebuilt this from the ground up and spent months painfully restoring (and yes - expanding it. Now included is that Kobol establishing shot from Lost Planet of the Gods!). So save your pennies; this is a pretty impressive set.'

BEHIND THE SCENES: RAIDER SUPERVISION!

At Apogee, Joe Johnston and colleague look towards a Cylon Raider in what was likely its original colour scheme, presumably for test footage filming? A similar colour scheme was later used by Mattel toys with its modelling of the craft for Galactica merchandise. An intriguing behind the scenes image.

THE BEAUTY OF SERINA!

She conquered the world with her sexy English Rose beauty as one of Roger Moore's finest 1970's James Bond girls in Live and Let Die, and Hollywood was soon to hire the gorgeous Jane Seymour for their own film and TV projects, of which she was superbly cast as the tragic beauty news woman Serina in Saga of a Star World.

THE SIEGE!

The inmates have taken control of the asylum, as the saying goes, of which Adama and his command crew, watched by a now powerless Siress Tinia, must take swift command of the situation against Baltar's actions towards the Galactica and his hostage taking, in a tense scene from Baltar's Escape.
