I want Wash back, but I don't want him to be resurrected, or be a ghost. I feel like that’s a disservice to Wash. Yeah, you died, but that doesn’t matter. I can just write a nice little plot device and now you’re back. Your death didn’t make any difference at all.
I hate things like that.

On the other hand someone said to me in the theater, “This is a different continuity, if the series comes back they’ll still be alive.” As far as I know there are no plans to bring the series back (even if this movie, and the one after it, and the one after that all do incredibly well.)
So two questions:
1 Is anyone talking about reviving Firefly?
2 If they are is it going to follow the movies, or ignore them?

The Firefly episodes give us what we don't have in real life; the ability to relive moments from before Wash was killed.
Take those episodes and rejoice that he IS alive in them! He can be alive whenever you want, that way.
There are those lost to me in the real world I just WISH I could do that with.
Wash and Book will always be with us.

I had a similar reaction, though I was afraid I was letting my fellow Browncoats down.
Hats off to Joss and Alan for creating a character that we care so much about. He will live on in our hearts and those of his family onboard Serenity.

I also can't imagine that Joss would kill off a character without the actor actually asking for it or consenting to it.
But if your going to be stuck with a movie format from this point on rather than the realitively spacious time allowed by a series, there is a real advantage to getting the number of main characters down from 9 to 7.

Sometimes people die for no reason, without fanfare, glory, recognition, or even a witty or pithy line in passing.
It's a testament to Whedon's stylized realism that his death was so shocking and affecting.
Also, as Zoe points out earlier in the film:
"Heroes are people who get other people killed."
(fantastic line - works on a lot of levels)

I was going to say that, but I couldn't find words that made sense. You did a great job of doing just that.

In the Serenity official movie magazine, Tudyk says he recommended the idea to Whedon during the series. Tudyk also said he liked the way it happened without any "carry on without me" lingering. And Glass says Whedon maintains the possibility of a full cast in future Serenity efforts. Dead may be dead, but, hey, much of "Out of Gas" occurs in the past.

Waiting til the second weekend isn’t letting anybody down. The second weekend is probably even more important than the first, because it decides whether this film will hang around and grow or fade away. So, no worries. Just be sure you’re there come the second weekend. Same goes for everybody else.
As for bringing characters back, I doubt Joss will try to “resurrect” them. However, in the Buffyverse, death was rarely the end for beloved characters--and not just because you could bring them back as vampires or manifestations of the First or whatnot. Whedon’s used dreams, hallucinations, visions, and surrealism to let us see lost beloved characters yet again, and he is always effective at it. So we might see those things employed in a sequel. Plus, Serenity has something the Buffyverse doesn’t: holograms.
Picture something like this: it’s movie two and Mal has gotten involved in something very dangerous. Then he discovers Shepherd Book was a party to it (maybe it was the thing that drove Book to take the cloth) and that Book has left a series of holographic recordings for Mal to help him out. We see another side of Book, we get to see Book giving (admittedly one-way) counsel to Mal, etc. My example is kinda trite, but Whedon could use something like that to keep Book and Wash a part of the story. Whether Joss will do that in a sequel is another matter--but first we have to get a sequel, so spread the word and turn up at the second weekend.
