Perhaps the most notorious case of copyright is that of Battlestar Galactica, who apparently ‘borrowed’ a little too much from Star Wars, Galactica was produced at the time of the success of the 1977 film Star Wars, sci-fi author Jerry Pournelle, explained that 20th Century Fox owners to the rights of star wars at the time sued Universal Studios the studio behind the creation Battlestar Galactica for copyright infringement, claiming that it had stolen a total 34 distinct ideas from Star Wars, among them was a character named Skyler, a little too close to Skywalker, and the possibility of airing with the title “Star Worlds” the original name for Battlestar Galactica.
