Saga of a Star World . . .

"Following the opening of Star Wars I was contacted by Glen A. Larson. When I went in to talk to him he described his idea for a 'Wagon Train' in outer space. It sounded interesting so I agreed to do it.

The Empire Strikes Back had not started yet so I came to George and explained the job, he said go ahead.

Over time as I was introduced to the characters and the similarities began to come out." RMQ

Ralph was joined on Battlestar by two of his fellow Star Wars alumni; Joe Johnston and John Dykstra. All were signed with the proviso that they would be released immediately if they wanted to work on 'Star Wars II'.

Mark Hamill was also apparently offered the role of Commander Adama but declined.
