Disney Plus could be rebooting Firefly

[doctorbadwolf]

I was so excited to watch a bounty hero series, crossing the galaxy location to location, taking down dangerous gangsters on the run, killing han solo wannabes.

Instead I got an old man getting his ass whooped by a child tusken raider.

On the other hand, I would have been bored to tears with the first one, and loved what we actually got.

Disney.....haven't they ruined enough already?

I’ll take Disney ruining Star Wars any day! They can light it up like Alderaan.

Also, aren’t the Star Wars crew — Favreau, Filloni, etc. — a bit busy to be involved in a Firefly reboot? Not that I’m questioning a YouTuber’s anonymous inside source…

Yeah, I’m totally on board with Disney+ “ruining” things.

I have no love for the SW prequels, but I don't see where that's even relevant to whether or not I ought to love the SW sequels (or Pirates of the Caribbean LXIII or Avengers: Battle for the Galactic Supercluster or any of the rest of it). Can't a lad dislike both?

Some decent writers and many fewer focus groups: that's about all I think it would take.

• Firefly class ship will appear as an Easter egg somewhere else before the show goes live.

If only they could redo the scene where Mando is looking for a replacement for the Razorcrest. "I got your message. You say you've got a replacement for - wait, not that old rustbucket? What else have you got?"

But ... but ... it's shiny.

A few years ago, I would have thought this was great.

But I'm not interested in a Firefly reboot without Whedon, and in light of recent revelations I'm not interested in any project involving Whedon.

Well, I do have to give Disney credit for ruining my desire to see my nostalgic favorites rebooted or continued. Ironically, the quote that comes to mind is one that from their current biggest franchise zombie:

"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."

It's not Firefly, if it doesn't have its excellent writing. You would need to hire the original writers, or at least a team of writers that can write episodes AS good or better than the original show.

How many new cast would you need? Ron Glass passed.

Or would this be a more Battlestar Galactica reboot where only the larger themes and key names would be the same?
