So... Time Bandits (GDC 2013 Panel)

For those of you who missed it, Joe Staten revealed at the Bungie Panel at GDC 2013 yesterday that the 1981 film [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Bandits]Time Bandits[/url] was a major influence in the early concept planning stages of Destiny. One of the things he mentioned is that the treasure map from that movie (picture above) featured the juxtaposition of a sci-fi-style "map" overlaying an old-style terrestrial map, which influenced the piece of concept art that we now usually just call the "Destiny Map," a source of [url=http://halo.bungie.net/forums/posts.aspx?postID=68213981]major speculation[/url] over the last year or two. Bungie's presentation featured a picture of the Time Bandits map, which is the first time I had ever seen it. But it instantly looked familiar. [url=http://destinypedia.wikia.com/wiki/File:Signal_received_full.jpg]Did it look familiar to any of you guys?[/url] (and if you're totally lost, see [url=http://destinypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Alpha_Lupi]here[/url]) Do you think this means anything for the game itself? Is it just more concept art meant to show the interaction of old-school mythology and fantasy combined with futuristic sci-fi that Destiny embodies? Or will it actually have a role in the game? I guess we'll find out (and it looks like I have a new movie I need to watch soon)!
