do you reckon there's a 'Jayne's little sister' out there somewhere?
That would actually make a lot of sense. It would sort of point out why he's got such a soft spot for Kaylee. Maybe she reminds him of someone he knows/knew????

Back in my day, we knew how to kill bad guys and monsters. If they survived too many movies, we send in Abbott and Costello. That would finish them off for good.
Fair enough. But I think Joss left Early the way he did in anticipation of a return. Besides its too easy, he probably has some sort of recall device built into that suit of his. All he has to do is press a button and the ship comes to pick him up.

I was a little confused by the way they left Jubal Early... more specificly, why did they just abandon what was probably a very valuable space ship belonging to a left-for-dead bounty hunter? They could have sold it, or at the very least canibalized it for parts.
But for all you people who want to see him in the movie in any significant way, be realistic- you all like his character because he had a full 45-minute (after comercials) episode devoted to developing him. So in order to reintroduce him to the crowd, many of whom would not have seen Objects in Space, you need to repeat a lot of that. There just isn't time to develop his character along with the nine cast members and the backstory in an hour and forty minute (ballpark figure) movie in which Reavers are the main villian. Believe me, you would be sorely dissapointed by the time he would be allocated. It will be much better if they concentrate on new uncovered territory than simply rehashing an episode.

good point, you know the FUN wash would have had in that thing. But keep in mind OIS is one of the last eppisodes made in all probabalily they would have repoed alot of things from it but when they dont make anymore eppisodes its hard for us to see that isnt it!
and i personaly am not sure if i would like to see early but keep in mind they did it with safron verry well they gave her a second eppisode without re hashing plot
Dear diary, Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy,
Today we where kidnapped my hill folk never to be seen again, it was the best day ever.

Having a second episode with a character like Saffron is very different from using Early in the movie. With Trash, they were able to assume that you'd seen Our Mrs. Rynolds. If they want the movie to be successful, it has to stand alone, without relying on people having seen the series.
All the characters will be introduced as though they were new, because to most of the people that see the movie, they WILL be new. In order for it to be the same Jubal Early we know, they would have to tell the story of Objects in Space. Alternatively they could reintroduce him as though OIS never happened, but that would suck, and neither option is a good use of precious movie time.
Personally, I think the best Jubal Early fans can hope for in the movie is a Bobba Fett Episode 4 special eddition-like cameo.

Maybe so, but I hope not.
There is one way I think it might work. Jubal talked to River, extensively. Remember what the Blue Hand Crew did to the security detail in Ariel?
So, what about a plotline about how Jubal has to find Serenity to stay away from the Blue Hand Crew?
Also, I wonder if that massacre got covered up and how well. I am sure that several of those guys had wives, families and the such. Meaning that Jayne would have one hell of a rep on Ariel, and possibly beyond. (Since I doubt the BHC would leave fingerprints pointing to them, Jayne would get the blame for all the deaths.)

To sell it would have involved taking it in tow, or piloting it. (Which means dividing forces at least, risky) And risking that Jubal did not have some kind of recall or booby trap onboard. Its too big to bring aboard, and scrapping it on the spot would have meant hanging around, (not safe if in trade routes) and working in suits (just plain not safe).
Sometimes things are more hassle than they are worth. See the gun Mrs. Reynolds talked Mal into stealing.

River escaped, but perhaps the others didn't. Perhaps the Alliance got what they wanted out of them.
Imagine if you will a person with all of River's intelligence, insight, and skill, working for the Alliance.
Imagine that person coming for River.
I think you are right, River said 'They are hurting us' implying more than one student. We talked about that awhile back, I thought it was a great story line.
I wondered if the Blue Hands would use some of the other Academy students to track down Serenity. If the other students could foretell the future, they would always be one step ahead of Mal. Can you imagine how frustrating it would be to be doing a caper and have something go wrong at every step? Then in the end River figures out what is going on and Mal out smarts the Blue Hands and their 'seers'
Maybe they use just one 'seer', a young girl that was River's best friend at the Academy. In the end, she lies to her handlers and lets River get away.

Stop me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Joss Wheadon already been quoted as saying that the movie would be about Reavers?
