As to reviving Firefly, no can do for seven, now six more years according to the contract that was made in order to produce the film. The film did very poorly at the box office because it was not widely advertised, again black listing at work, and if you have not been able to read between the lines, allow me to elabrate by simply saying one name... Lucas.

The film was OVER advertised. The two plus weeks before it was launched, you couldn't turn the TV on without seeing an advertisement for it. The "browncoat" brigade was out if force trying to get folks to see it.
You'll need a bit more proof to show me that Lucas killed this. Considering it was on the Fox network, which is a subsidiary of 20th Century Fox, distributor of Star Wars.
Here's the gross amounts from IMDB:

Compare with episode three.

You're a stockholder and/or investor in movies. Which one are you going to make?
