I think we could get more acomplished if we had a militant branch, I'll volunteer. Just Kidding!
But do not give up Hope! Instead remember this quote from a scifi movie that I have altered slightly to fit the circimstances
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the 8th of June, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, annihilation, oppression, or persecution... but from cancelation. We are fighting for our right to live on. To exist. And should we win the day, the 8th of June will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We will have another Firefly or Serenity!" We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
Keep flying and remember, They said that it was impossible to make a movie based on a show that only lasted 13 episodes. But we did the impossible, and that makes us mighty.

It is my thinking that Universal is likely to wait until the 3rd or 4th quarter of the year (more likely the 4th) before deciding on a sequel. This gives execs time to see how sustained DVD and season 1 sales are over that period of time and to actually make money on the movie now that they've recouped their costs.
I bought the original DVD, Season 1, and even the movie soundtrack and I'll also buy the extended DVD as well. The more profit Universal sees, the more likely they'll be to sign off on another movie.
When I think of some of the big budget lame sequels that have been made in recent years, I've got to think that Serenity has a good chance of a sequel. Personally, I think it was one of the best scifi flicks to appear since The Matrix. Call me biased (I am), but the chemistry of the main charachters, the storyline, the fascinating culture created by Whedon for both the series and the movie, those are all very compelling and interesting.
Now, my other hope is that the "new technologies" talked about in the Firefly series also includes cloning so that we can get Shepherd Book and Wash back. :-)

Quick question regarding Alan Tudyk (Wash) from the series. Did any of you see him in "A Knight's Tale"?
First of all, I loved that movie. Secondly, Alan was so funny, I thought he was great in that movie. When I saw him on Firefly, I knew he would be good there too.
Regards,
David

A knights tale is one of my favorite movies

I think what we need is a Browncoat Missions team, going around and spreading the signal by performing acts of charity and kindness. We could do it in the gulf, in Taiwan, in the areas hit by the Tsunami a couple of years back, and anywhere else that people need other peoples help. I figure if it will work for Mormonism, Catholicism, and other branches of Christianity, it could work for us.
As to Joss meeting Lucas, I think it would be good for Joss to get his name on something artistically interesting within a proven blockbuster franchise like Star Wars. That way, people will be more willing to throw money at him for his own projects. And though Lucas has worked with 20th Century Fox, I think that Joss would be ok with working for Lucasfilm which in a roundabout way works for Fox. Another interesting and farfetched possibility is that Lucas decided to buy the rights to Firefly and that he was meeting with Joss about what to do with them. That'd be nice, don't you think - George Lucas Presents: Joss Whedon's Firefly
The possibilities are endless as long as we keep flying, and hold till the Captain gets back.
