I tend to think that comparing Firefly/Serenity with Star Wars is like comparing Lord of the Rings (books) to Sword of Truth. Same genre; different stories. Just because something is SciFiction, doesn't mean that Star Wars is pinnacle to which it must be judged. Also, though I could have missed it, I have seen no comparisons of Firefly to The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly (THE most referenced Western epic). If comparisons within genres are to be made, something along this line must be done to validate the other. Otherwise, The 'Verse is the 'Verse; take it for what it is: Absolutely shiny!
Be seeing you . . .

i agree with brownfieldcoat. Serenity/Firefly has all the shiny goodness about it that we browncoats love, but lacks the ten-digit production cost. Star Wars is all about "Make it look ver, very, cool." They did that, and they either blew their budget and couldn't hire good actors, or George Lucas sucks at writing scripts now. Don't get me wrong, I willingly admit that I carry a lightsaber under my brown coat, but the more recent Star Wars movies were crap. II, III, and half of I all were....not so good. The only good thing about I is Qui-Gon Jinn, double-bladed lightsabers, and very shiny starships. Jar-Jar managed to counteract all, of them combined. II & III were just bad. Stick with the original trilogy.

The sad thing is, the old special effects felt more real then the new all cg ones. Must be something about having models that actually have three dimensions. Firefly, Serenity I should say, on the other hand, was so faithful to the design that I couldn't tell when they switched from digital to Model (The "I'm gonna have to glide her in." "Can she do that?" scene.)
If anyone gets nosy...Shoot em.
Shoot em sir?
Politely.

On the subject of Green screen:
Why is it that the actors in Sin City, a film done entirely in green screen, had more acting believablity then Episode I-III, where half the time the actors were on a green screen set reacting to nothing. I think the issue lies in the Actors (And this has for years been an issue with green screen) having no damn imagination. Just act for crisakes, you've done it when you were a kid with no one around, just pretend!
Meanwhile, Serenity uses almost every practical effect it can get it's hands on, particularly the hover mule/Reaver chase.
Also, how is it that a guy from New Zealand can make a horrid little cursed hobbit and a giant gorilla seem more life like and believable as actors/characters then a retarted man-child alien?
Remember, Remember the fifth of November

I place blame on the director not being able to inspire his cast. That group of actors have an immense amount of talent, just watch any of their other works.
Lucas should of stuck with writing and producing.

Luthien & SaintJayniac:
I feel exactly the same way. I loved the original star wars movies as a little kid (even though I grew up in the nineties), but when I saw Serenity then Firefly (backwards, I know), I was just blown away by how much better they were.
Still my second favorite (B5 has that honor).
