What is so sad about Lucas and his appearant view of Joss is that at least Joss can write intelligently. Case in point, Serenity compared to any of the last three Star Wars Movies.
I like the dialog used in Serenity and the series. It gave the show and the movie a unique familarity and appeal that is not often seen in such things. BSG has tried it, in fact BSG has stolen a lot of its ideas from Firefly from the style of the camera motions to the appearant use of recognizable dialog, albeit not as western dated as Firefly, but persado modern to say the least.
Firefly had the ratings to stay on the air, however George Lucas was personally offended by the show because he felt that it stoled from his work, specifically from his concept for a Han Solo series of stories, and just like with BSG and wing commander, Lucas presured Fox into killing the show.
Lucas has publically denounced Joss W. as reportedly a hack and a no talent theif, and that is just inapproprate behavior at the least. Lucas is like the spoiled rotten kid who has all the new toys and likes the attention he gets from the poor kids. Make him mad and he will take his toys and go home and whine to his mommy who then makes a big stink about things and gets people into trouble. Just spoiled rotten behavior being affirmed by a politically correct anti-original hollywood society.
That being said, any one here going to go see the new Pirates of the Carribean movie?
