ok, so I'm on nightshifts at the moment and went trolling through wookiepedia in the small hours to occupy myself and found out something interesting.

Apparently, in "Invincible" there is reference to a weekly holodrama. its name?

Battlesun Oddessy.

While its not confirmed to be the intent, anyone else seeing a certain similarity there.

Welcome to Coruscant. One of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol :lol:

I'm pretty sure that the British pound is worth as much or more now... We've been going to the dumps...

last I checked, one British pound is worth 2 US dollars... I can only assume that is still the case (more or less) since the hardback verson is £12.99 here

Well, there was a randomly generated name for a sci-fi movie in the game "The Movies" which was a take off of Battlestar (it was "Battlefish Tarantula") so, seems everyones getting in on it!

Haha, I think it'd indeed be funny if the Battlesun Odyssey was a reference to BSG, heck, there probably is a Battlestar Odyssey somewhere...
