This Is What A Remastered Battlestar Galactica Might Look Like

We’ve seen remastered versions of Star Trek, Star Wars(Thanks George, but it wasn’t necessary.) and other vintage sci-fi properties, but what about Battlestar Galactica? Have you ever wondered what the original Batttlestar Galactica series would look like if it was remastered and re-released? It would look a lot like this.

This amazing reel of a restored and remastered original BSG was created by Adam “Mojo” Lebowitz. This video is a demo to get us all excited about how frakkin’ awesome it looks. I fully support this as long as we also get a remastered Babylon 5 too.

Amazing Geeky Matchbook Paintings

DugMcUglyArt made these super cool matchbook paintings with some of our favorite geek pop culture characters. Below are just some of his miniature masterpieces. The art is fantastic, but the artist also manages to inject some humor into these paintings.

One of my favorites is “The Hound” with the matches appropriately burned. Another is Jack Nicholson’s joker from Tim Burton’s Batman movie. I would love to display all of these together. Awesome work.

Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper Helmet Signature Edition

When I was a kid there was nothing better than Battlestar Galactica. I wanted to be a Viper pilot more than anything and fly with Starbuck and Apollo. Well, now I can at least wear the helmet of a Viper pilot. This series-accurate 1:1 scale replica of the Colonial Viper helmet looks amazing.

It is a limited edition, hand signed by both Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict. It even has LED lighting effects. This helmet was scanned from an original screen-used helmet and cast from an original piece. It is a limited edition of only 500 pieces. One size fits all. Now I can be the Viper pilot I always wanted to be. This beauty is only $599.99 from Entertainment Earth.

Starships Made From Junk Computer Parts

Etsy seller shankalonian loves taking old computer parts, especially hard drives, and creating amazing starships and other Sci-Fi vehicles. Below are some of the excellent models he has available in his shop.

You’ll see a lot of Star Trek ships like the Enterprise B, a Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica, the Babylon 5 space station, the Recognizer from Tron and more. I especially love the Enterprise B. shankalonian has a great eye for detail.

Concept Art From Bryan Singer’s 2001 Battlestar Galactica

Before Ronald D. Moore brought Battlestar Galactica back to life, Bryan Singer almost beat him by a few years. Singer had his new Battlestar Galactica series in development around 2000-2001, but due to the 9/11 tragedy everything stalled and it was sadly never meant to be.

It would have been interesting to see what Singer’s take on the franchise would have been like. We may never be able to see everything, but luckily, we can get some idea, thanks to some concept art that recently appeared online. We can see a more streamlined Viper, some interior sketches of the Galactica and some bulky Cylon designs that look menacing and tough. The art seen here was created by designer Guy Hendrix Dyas. That Viper has some nice curves. Makes me wonder what Galactica herself would have looked like.

Battlestar Galactica 35th Anniversary Art Portfolio by Ralph McQuarrie

Fans of Battlestar Galactica will want to own this Battlestar Galactica 35th Anniversary Art Portfolio by Ralph McQuarrie book. Inside you will be thrilled to find 24 of Ralph’s Original concept paintings of: A fleet of Battlestars, The Cylon assult on Caprica, Baltar brought before the Imperious Leader, The bridge of the Galactica, The Tylioum mines of the insect-like Ovions and many more.

I could get absorbed in this for hours. As with Star Wars, Ralph McQuarrie was instrumental in shaping Battlestar Galactica. Most know that he was involved with Star Wars, but many don’t realize the influence he had with Battlestar.
