In a recent survey of the three guys at the end of the bar, Ron Moore, the executive producer and creative mastermind behind Scifi’s reimagined Battlestar Galactica, is dangerously close to looking like George Lucas.

George Lucas, with substantial, if not questionable, neckbeard action.

Jeb Fontenot, an observer of popular culture and local contractor is concerned that Moore, an emerging talent in Science Fiction television, is modeling more than his career after the iconic Lucas.

“Hell yes that boy looks like that other boy,” explained Fontenot, “long-haired and all!”

“That’s a fact,” agreed Mitch Thibodeaux, “Damn Hollywood sissy boys and their book learnin.”

For Hoss Walker, a state representative from Denham Springs, Moore’s substantial likeness to George Lucas was not as troubling as the impression Moore’s photo had on him. After considerable reflection, Rep. Walker characterized Moore as “the kind of guy that might’ve stole my wife’s Nissan Sentra.”

Questions of Moore’s moral and ethical shortcomings aside, observers have noticed a disturbing trend over the last decade. As Moore’s career has developed, so too, it seems, has a certain bohemian sensibility.

Here we see Moore during the mid-1990s, sporting a 90s-appropriate band collar and shirt:

Later, Moore’s forays into facial hair would begin with a goatee. However, it should be noted that this photo may be indicative of Moore’s attempts to break into the hispanic television market since it appears on a spanish language Battlestar site.

Finally we see Moore in his current state, dangerously close to Lucas-esque hirsutism. In addition, Mr. Fontenot and others contend that Moore resembles “that guy in the movie about the big green feller,” Eric Bana.

Ultimately, Mr. Fontenot and his fellow popular culture enthusiasts are relieved Moore hasn’t followed in the footsteps of other Ron Moores (available through a cursory google search).

Ron Moore, his agent, and his college roomate did not return Colonial News Service requests for interviews.
