1980: STARLOG REPORTS THE OUTCOME OF THE STAR WARS/ BATTLESTAR GALACTICA LAWSUIT

From 1980: The December issue of STARLOG magazine confirms that BATTLESTAR GALACTICA had emerged triumphant from the protracted legal spat with 20th Century Fox over the two deep space franchises.

The press fixated on the lawsuit at the time of Battlestar's launch but I suspect there was a lot less interest once the show had left the air.  Twice.

Universal didn't use the judgement as a green light to revive the concept... but it did leave them free to keep the Universal Studio ride in business long after most of the tourists had forgotten what had inspired it.
