Because Battlestar Galactica was produced so soon after the release of Star Wars, composer John Williams actually paid a visit to the recording of the Battlestar Galactica soundtrack, just to make sure that his themes for Star Wars weren't being ripped off!

Williams was soon put at ease when he heard that Stu Phillips hadn't copied the Star Wars score at all - in fact, several years later Williams asked Phillips if he could perform the Battlestar Galactica soundtrack main theme for a Boston Pops Orchestra performance.

Who can forget Battlestar Galactica! We absolutely loved it! What with the cute little Daggit, the cool starfighters and the scary as hell Ovions and Cylons, it was one of the sci-fi highlights of our youth. I even collected the bubblegum Trading Cards!

Prolific composer Stu Phillips has had a long, varied and successful career music. He has gone from playing piano in cocktail lounges to conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In between he has spent time as an arranger and conductor for night club performers; as a successful A&R record producer and as a composer for television and film.

In 1974, Phillips began a six year undertaking at Universal Studios composing the music to The Six Million Dollar Man pilot followed by McCloud, Quincy, Switch, The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, Knight Rider and others.
