Well, they can all meet at Munden's Bar, in the pan-dimensional city of Cynosure. Or they can catch a convenient TARDIS, or just hitch a ride on any ship with Infinite Improbability Drive.
Crossover stories are always fun, and for the most part only possible in fan fiction. Maybe someone ought to start a thread devoted to what shows you'd enjoy crossing over into the Fireflyverse.
Maybe I ought to. Hmm
Not tonight though, gorram it. I'm on dial up until we pay our old cable bill. And I've got to save at least ten minutes of my alloted half hour today to check once more before bedtime to see if Static's finally checked in.

Now hold on a sec, what are you judging here? How busy they are and wht they dress their dancing women in? hehehe. They both seem pretty comparitively evil in this sense, what with Niska toruring the hell outta people and Jabba watching them get ripped part by the Rancor

Yeah they're both evil in a torturing/Rancor feeding fashion, but seems to me Jabba doesn't do much besides feed people to Rancors, while Niska at least pretends to be working on world domination by using science and industry.
So Niska gets world domination points, Jabba gets brass clad dancing girl points, this would indicate a tie except that Jabba then kills said dancing girls, which makes him lose more points putting him behind the Satanic Gnome.
I mean it's Evil Overlord 101 here people, don't kill the scantilly clad dancing girls. Huge points deduction for that. Maybe El Sluggo just didn't get the memo...

Well that would work, unless Marvin bored them to death with his General People Personality...those damn doors and their satisfaction to close with the knowledge of a job well done.
Hummmmmmmmmyummmmmmm ah!

Based on what we saw River do in "War Stories", I doubt Boba would have had any better chance than Early! She handled Early one way, but if she read Boba's mind before he entered Serenity (as I believe she did with Early) she would have known how dangerous Boba really was, and been waiting for him. She proved earlier in the same episode that she could acquire one of Jayne's guns with ease, and would have "Killed him with math" before Boba knew what hit him. Sure, the expanded universe version of Boba is highly intelligent and skilled, but he would be no match for River's super intellect, ability to know Boba's every move before he even does it, and her deadly skill with a firearm. Kalee said it herself, not even Jayne or Mal could have done what River did! Boba is just a man, and she's so much more.
I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

As I understand it, Boba is nothing more than a perfect clone of Jango Fett. Jango may have been an excellent physical specimen, but he wasn't a superman! He was just a man. River is a child prodigy. More so, she is the product of a program designed to make her into the perfect spy/assassin.
The fact is, Boba is at a severe disadvantage.
1. He has to capture River alive.
2. River, on the other hand, can and has proven that she will kill when necessary.
3. River's abilty to read thoughts would keep her a step ahead of any of Boba's tactics! Knowing he's coming would make an ambush easy.
River (3), Boba (0), advantage River. Boba, like Early is toast!

I'm in a very sarcastic mood today, so sensitive viewers may want to just keep on walkin' right past this...
Ahem.
Cue lights.
Cue sound.
Roll it.
A long time ago, in a galaxy somewhere other than here...
STAR WARS: EPISODE SOMETHING OR OTHER
It is a DARK TIME for the STAR WARS franchise. Continuity has been thrown out the window and turgid plotting has gripped the GALAXY in it's evil grasp.
CGI CREATURES run rampant among the worlds of the OLD REPUBLIC causing mayhem, strife and guffaws from people who have seen better. In children's cereal commercials, no less.
If that was not bad enough, the JEDI KNIGHTS, guardians of law and order in the Galaxy have been relegated to playing MARCO POLLO to find out what is up with these nefarious yet completely uninteresting plots instead of actually doing their jobs...
Obi-Wan Kenobi: "Master Qui-Gon I am getting a feeling that the Trade Federation are giving us the runaround here, the Force tells me that things are not what they seem..."
Qui-Gon Jinn: "...Rob Roy I said that was the last movie I was doing...damn agent..."
OWK: "Master? Are you feeling allright? You seem distracted..."
QGJ: "What? Oh sorry my young Padiwan learner, I was just contemplating fates and what should have been. Now what's all this then with the Force and the feelings and the so on and so forths?"
OWK: "Oh sorry, umm...The Force. It tells me something here is not quite right."
QGJ: "Indeed. We must be careful I have a feeling that the Trade Feder...Great day in the morning! What's that!?"
Suddenly outside the window an odd ship appears, oddly shaped like the love child of a steel horse and a giant insect, puffs of vapor appear as it moves to the docking collar.
OWK: "By the Creator where did that come from?"
QGJ: "Good question, I never even heard it fly up. This is unsettling my young Padiwan learner, we should go to the airlock and investigate!"
OWK: "Master...Why do you keep calling me 'young Padiwan learner' all the time, I mean I understand formality and all but it seems a bit...excessive."
QGJ: "Good question my young Padawan learner, Ben stop rolling your eyes or I'll give you something to make faces about...where was I, oh yes. I keep using the full title because even though this is the 4th mov...I mean the 4th in a series of chronicles of the galaxy and Jedi that will some day be made famous by documentary films...where was I?"
OWK: "The whole Padawan thing?"
QGJ: "Yes, even though, yadda yadda yadda, the simple fact is that term has never been used before. So therefore by me repeating it endlessly and at full length then the viewers of this...completely true and accurate historical account...will know that Padawan is the term we Jedi use for an Apprentice."
OWK: "I see...So you're saying that even though the other documentaries always used "apprentice" that "Padawn" is the actual term, and has been all along. Got it. Ummm...Master?"
QGJ: "Yes my young Pad...oh sod it, what Ben?"
OWK: "Do you think they'll buy it?"
QGJ: "Not a chance in hell...That is until the original 3 documentaries are updated with a Super Special Edition which inserts all the terms that we use now into it."
OWK: "Ahhh I see, but if these terms were thought up even before Star Wa...I mean before the first documentary was even made shouldn't it have been in there as well and not needed redubbing? In fact, if that were the case you wouldn't have to use the whole Padawan thing to get the point across would you?"
QGJ: "Ben..."
OWK: "Yes Master?"
QGJ: "Shut the 
up. You're allowing logic to enter into things and that's not the Jedi way!"
OWK: "Yes Master, so shall we see who our new guests with their inscrutibly silent ship are?"
QGJ: "That was the point before you started babbling about continuity. Ahhh close your mouth son it's going to catch flies, off to the airlock we must go with haste!"
The two rush down to the airlock, wi
