Hey there Zarius! Really glad to hear you liked the edit, and that it helped!!! Battlestar was something that I have enjoyed since it premiered when I was a kid. And definitely gave me some great fun to escape to at varying times of my life.
And thanks of course to Bob for posting and sharing this as well. I always fall short when it comes to the actual sharing and communications side of things, so thank God Bob is there to help!!! Well actually, if it wasn't for his way of planting little ideas in my head, my last several edits would never have happened at all.

Very curious about the source material; did you use the Blu-Ray in your version, and if so, which source (full screen, widescreen, movie + non-movie, etc)?
One of the things that catches my eye when watching the original is how there is a black outline around the Cylon fighters every time they pass over the Galactica in shots (part of the matte process). I thought it would be nice if someone superimposed a slightly larger Cylon ship over the existing with modern tools, just to get past that.
I know that for me, watching original Battlestar as an entire series grew to be tedious because you would see the same effects shots over and over and most were from the first 5 hours of the program.
I think the best parts of your version were the projections added in the Cylon Base Star. They blended absolutely flawlessly, so much so that you would think they were always there.
I want to see more like this! Bravo!

I don't really have the other edits online anywhere, and I know others have tried sharing on youtube, but that is not a thing to do as Universal quickly removes them. Which hey, I get it... it is their product.
Actually on facebook, if you look up Battlestar Galactica Fan Creations, there is the full video for the BSG/Space 1999 crossover. Others are all short vids.
Bionic Bob - thanks for letting people like me who are new to Fanedit, the BSG Club, and other BSG sites to view Mr. Kerin's enhanced edit of Saga of a Star World. I really didn't know sites like these existed or otherwise I would have been part of this fandom many years ago. Mr. Kerin... if you're "seeing" this... I can't tell you the emotions I felt when I watched your edit. I was a kid again feeling just like I did back on Sept. 17th 1978 at 8:00pm watching like millions of others. The edits you made are spectacular and continue to make Saga of a Star World a more complete, epic adventure. I hope in the future I'm able to view you're other BSG fan edits. Bionic Bob - thanks again .

Watching this brings back memories of the totally awesome "Battle of Galactica" adventure at the Universal Studios Tour in Hollywood in the 1980s.
