As a fan of SW 4,5&6, I will, of course, see ROTS, and from what I hear, will enjoy it. Serenity is another story. I plan to see it as many times as opportunity and finance will allow. If enough others share that sentiment (after a taste of Serenity's character-driven style), I feel it could be BIG. It happened before not so long ago, in a galaxy right here in 1977!
Thanks for your enlightened opinion. Good to know I have two films to look foward to.

That's my feeling exactly: I know how episode three has to end.
Select to view spoiler:
Anakin has to get maimed and adopt the Vader identity, Padme has to have twins and be killed, the baby girl with her attendant droids has to be adopted by Senator Organa of Alderaan, and the baby boy has to be whisked away to Tatooine where Obi-Wan will set himself up as 'Old Ben', the wise man of the desert.
I can't miss seeing it on the big screen, but I don't foresee doing it more than once. I'll probably be upset for a week. Serenity, on the other hand, "I will see as many times as opportunity and finance will allow".
"Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity?"

Count me in as one of those who doesn't see it as a competition. I've been a Star Wars fan my entire life, and I'm counting down the days until Episode III. I saw the first two prequels in the theater over 15 times each and will probably do the same for this last one. (Yes, you read right, I enjoyed the prequels!
)
However, I am also a loyal Browncoat. Having seen Serenity, I really hope the film will do well and be a success. I adore the cast and a Firefly film trilogy would make me happy beyond compare. I'm doing everything in my power to spread the word of all things Serenity.
I don't see how making it a competition will help our cause. I wore some of my Serenity shirts to the Star Wars Celebration last week. Advertised the film to 50,000+ Star Wars fans. (Even got interviewed on camera about being a Star Wars/Firefly fan.) If someone asked me about Serenity, the last thing I would want to say is that it was an amazing film that was so going to kick Episode III's behind. How is that going to encourage people to see the film? If Star Wars fans are brought to this site because of interest in the trailer, I think competition talk wouldn't put them on the defensive. Heck, I adore Firefly, and still don't like all the "versus" talk.
Episode III is an end of an era. Millions and millions of people will see it. Star Wars fans are counting down the days. A lot of people who hated the prequels have said they're going to see it just to see how it all ends. Students at my school are sporting Star Wars shirts and hoping their parents will let them see the film. It's going to make a lot of money.
Serenity is the beginning of new era. This is something Star Wars fans can look to after the final film. We want them to join us, not fight us. Serenity is going to do great at the box office, I can feel it. As someone posted above, can't we all get along? 
I am just so excited about both these films. When I'm sitting there at the midnight showing for Episode III, if they show the Serenity trailer, I cannot be held responsible for my actions. This is going to be a great five six months!
And they called her...the Jedi Browncoat.

Jedi Browncoat, gnaw on the innerds of an Independant and your journey toward the Reaver side will be complete!
I agree, ass-kicking is no way to think. Let the greatest summer for movies since the early eighties begin!
