It would not be introducing new characters to say that there is a supernatural force at work here. It has been increasingly apparent, from the very beginning of the series, that there is a supernatural force in the BSG universe.
I don't think it will turn out to be a Ship of Lights type deal anymore, and in fact I don't think this supernatural force will be explored to much degree at all. Everything that needs to be established has already been shown: there is a supernatural force and the head characters are a part of that supernatural force.
The idea that Starbuck is Daniel's daughter does not actually explain anything regarding her death. So she can resurrect because she's a hybrid? Where did she resurrect? Why doesn't she remember resurrecting like every single other resurrected character does? How did she end up in a brand new viper? If there was a brand new viper just waiting for her and somehow she was able to resurrect into that rather than the necessary resurrection vat, then who put the viper there and planned for this. No matter what, it has been clearly established that there is a supernatural force at play. I don't think Starbuck has any relation to Daniel at all - it unnecessarily complicates things when the supernatural force of the universe is enough to explain everything.
It would be a Deus ex Machina if there were not precedent. But so far we have had scripture, miraculous signs (the supernova is just one of many examples), and head characters who have proven to go well beyond just the head (disappearing Six in season 1, Head Six lifting Baltar up in season 4). This would not be coming out of nowhere, it would be deeply rooted in the very beginning of the series.
