... that might have been the single most brilliant piece of writing I've ever seen in my entire life...
May I suggest another pair-off in the battle domain?
How about, non-physical combat... a duel of calming phrases and meditative ways between Book and the Original Trilogy Ben Kenobi?
Or, how about a battle of Intuitive Knowledge of Engineering between Kaylee and one Montgomery Scott?
Ooohh--Simon Tam versus Leonard McCoy!!!
Damn, this it turning into a "Celebrity Death Match" lineup...

Awww thanks.
Well Jefé, as a long time lover of Star Wars (saw it on opening day in '77) I'm not keen on how the whole thing has panned out, started with the Special Editions and went downhill from there.
So...after writing that I think I'm gonna take on all 5 of the movies, and have the crew of Serenity show up in all of them at dramatically appropriate, and (I hope) hi-larious points...So I'm plotting, planing and even scheming as we speak. 
Star Trek someone else would have to handle, I'm not a Trek kinda guy. But Star Wars, oh yeah.
I may repost this to a thread of it's own so I can continue it without confusing people. But I need to write a followup to make that worth the while. 
Scheming I am...

Ahem, I'm back. Now to do something completely insane and unpredictable, because I'm like that, instead of progressing to the next scene in the story I'm giving you a very special treat.
The Creator's Commentary for the scene you've just seen. And not only the commentary, but the ever ellusive Rough Cut! Enjoy...
I appolgise in advance because this is in very bad taste.
As the credits roll...
George Lucas: Umm, is this thing on? It is. Good. Hello there and I'm the creator of Star Wars, George Lucas but you probably already knew that. I'll be here today to explain to you the subtle nuances of the film...Here is my patented eye straining scroll that opens every movie. The soundtrack of course is by Mr. John Williams, a great composer and one whom I've worked with on...ummm...quite a few films now. Ummm, allright here we see the Trade Federation ship with our Jedi, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan onboard. Umm...the guys at ILM did a great job with that ship design and shot I think...Bear with me here this is the first time I've actually done a commentary for a Star Wars film and...
Sound of a door slamming in the background, footsteps and a chair sliding on a tile floor.
GL: Ummm, hello there. Who are you?
Joss Whedon: Hello there moviefans, I'm Joss Whedon the creator of Firefly, nice to be here for this commentary.
GL: Ummm, well hello there Joe.
JW: It's Joss not Joe. You're giving me that "why are you here look" but you'll see in a bit, trust me.
GL: Ummm, okeedokie then. Damn okay we need to rewind some here. Okay here is the opening scene again, the Trade Federat...
JW: (interrupting) You're kidding me right? Look at that thing, it looks like...hell I dunno something that falls out of a woman's purse at inappropriate moments. But that aside it doesn't follow the form of the original 3 movies, the design is not only new but looks...well NEW. I mean this is supposed to be the past isn't it? Why does the ship look newer and more modern than the ones from Star Wars.
GL: A New Hope.
JW: What?
GL: We don't call it Star Wars, it's Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope.
JW: Whatever Eddie Munster...
GL: (clears throat) Anyway! The ship looks more modern because of the stunning advances in CGI; technology that just wasn't there when I was fillming Star Wa...Dammit, A New Hope.
JW: Well duh. But I mean look at it man, it looks all new and, well I won't use the word shiny because that would give it more credit than it deserves, but it looks more technologically advanced. And this is the past right? Internal timeline-wise correct?
GL: Yes well...ummm...but you need to understand that the CGI technolog...
JW: (interrupting again) Yeah yeah, the new CGI, yadda yadda yadda, whatever George. You realise you just pooched the whole 'suspension of disbelief' in your opening shot because it goes against the technology seen in the previous STAR WARS movies right?
GL: Well I wouldn't agree with that theory but if it makes you feel better fine, you can think that.
JW: Oh I do.
GL: Fine.
JW: Yep, fine. Okay now we see the Jedi standing around...
GL: Wait a minute Joss, this is my movie why did you jump in to scene setting commentary?
JW: Because...coming...right...up...
GL: Hey! What's with that twangy guitar thing? John didn't write tha...holy crap!
JW: ...transport ship, Firefly class, Serenity. Schweeet!
GL: Was that a fully CGI zoom???
JW: Yep.
GL: Hmmm, I may have to use that technique sometime...
JW: Oh I'm sure you will...(sound of coughing)
GL: Did you say something?
JW: No, just had something caught in my throat, you know how it is, sorta makes you hack some.
GL: Indeed! Ummm...anyhow, here we see the, what did you call it, a Firefly...sneaking up on the Trade Federation ship. It's all...shiny. Sort of like my Federation ships! Aha! You copied!
JW: What the unpainted thing? Yeah it's only been around on ships since, oh...World War II. At least I didn't shape it like a diaphragm.

Why thank you.
I've been told I was funny from time to time, but what people usually mean is funny as in like,"Dropped on your head as a baby too many times funny."
Which could be true, and how this twisted stuff just sorta happened from out of nowhere.

EDIT!: Oh since I forgot to say it in a while, I am a Star Wars fan and these are just for pokin' a little fun at them. Well a fan of the originals at least, and by that I mean no 'special' sorta edition ones and definately not prequel ones. All in good fun.

Woah, I wasn't even born in '63 so I can't be the Lone Gunman. Or could I? Nah I ain't ever even seen a Grassy Knoll, now one covered with cactii all the time; grassy, well not so much...
Just messin' with ya.
I have some ideas on where to take my trainwreck of a story, at least storywise; but not sure if I should keep messin' up this thread or start another one.
Looks like a day of big decisions. For that I'm going to need some coffee.
