In the late 1970s, following the release of Star Wars, the wider film industry was scrambling to find their own answer to George Lucas' monster sci-fi hit. For Paramount, this lead directly to the production of Star Trek The Motion Picture. Disney's response came in the form of Black Hole. But Universal's Star Wars cash in - Battlestar Galactica - would go on to have a far more unique legacy among the titans of science fiction.
