Battlestar Galactica is the pilot for the American science fiction television series which was produced in 1978 by Glen Larson starring Lorne Greene, Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict. The film was released theatrically in Canada, Australia and some countries in Europe and Latin America before the television series aired in the U.S., in order to cash in on the success of Star Wars, and grossed $20 million at the box office. However, the television series that followed lost momentum, and was cancelled after only one season. A low-budget sequel (of sorts) debuted on television in 1980, but was quickly cancelled mid-season. It was reimagined in 2003 by the Sci-Fi Channel as a mini-series, with Edward James Olmos stepping into Lorne Greene's role of Commander Adama, and an acclaimed weekly series on the Sci-Fi Channel followed in January 2005 (see Battlestar Galactica (re-imagining)).
