GALACTICA Turns 30 And
Darth Mojo Has The True
History of Cylon Creation!!

I am – Hercules!!


On the 30th anniversary of the first airing of “Battlestar Galactica” on ABC, the Darth Mojo website has an interesting piece on how the original series’ lizard-spawned Cylons were designed.

The original concept art, above, was by Ralph McQuarrie, who served a similar function on “Star Wars.” Apparently it wasn’t Darthy enough for series creator Glen Larson!

Find all of Darth Mojo’s story on the matter here.
