They mention they don't know if Joss is involved. I can't imagine he would be if they're trying to remove all the grit and drama from it.

So, basically this is Firefly in name only. I'm not interested.

Disney owns Star Wars and that is action packed. Those already made play on tv all the time so who knows. Personally, I was a fan of the original and don't much care to see a new cast.

Figures that they're finally doing this now that no one cares anymore *sigh*

Not to sound like Luke Skywalker but I care. And I agree with the sanitizing Companions. But I have to admit I am slightly curious to see.

As far as I’m concerned right now this is just another BS rumor.

There were rumors before the pandemic started that they were looking to do it. I'm of a mind this is fairly reliable. They need content.

---

Color me silly but I think the firefly fan base has probably grown a bit sine it first aired. Maybe Disney should tread lightly to avoid pissing them/us off.

She has three kids now. I highly doubt she was gonna come back anyway.

In the series she'd be a house mother or something else by now. Maybe a General.

Yeah, General Inara

BTW, do you even realize that your posts bounce from non-linear point to non-linear point worse than ever?? Do you understand that is a sign of dementia??

This IS supposed to be a reboot with the same characters, is it not?

It says they would be starting over from scratch. Most likely "we can do whatever
spin we like to any character" would apply.

You'd be ok with someone else playing Inara as long as it was still "Inara"??

Any 'ol chick would work, eh?

Ugh. Bingo - good call. After School Firefly. Without Joss’s snark and twisted but hilarious writing I can’t see liking it, but I’m not their demographic. I’d still check it out.

Disney could go from "Big Damn Heroes" to "We Can Be Heroes".
The very kid oriented We Can Be Heroes from Netflix:


The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

That said, she didn't look like a companion anymore in the last comic I read. Though whether those comics were "good" exactly is another story. Still, space pirates isn't a bad look - which is the only way I can think of that they could actually pull this off.

I have been summoned....

I actually hadn't heard about the brand new verse comic but I think it is an excellent idea. There's a lot of room there to bring in a fresh new cast but allow original series cast members to make stops in. But I agree, Disney would most likely ruin it. I wish Whedon or Espenson would run with the idea to one of the 800 streaming services and make something worth while out of it.

-----------------------------
I pray for one last landing,
on the globe that gave me birth.
Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies
and the cool, green hills of Earth.

I'd like to hope that there is someone at Disney that actually liked the series and wants to do right by it, but I have a feeling it's just content that comes with a pre-cut fan base to them.
