"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

You mean with extensive re-edits to already released movies and a creole slinging goofball CGI character?

They haven't finished the effects yet. Tudyk is going to be replaced with CG, just like in I, Robot.

And JarJar will replace Zoe, including the re-release of the series DVDs.

I can't even.

And JarJar will replace Zoe, including the re-release of the series DVDs.

Adam Baldwin will be sent around to all our houses to collect our existing dvds, and give out coupons for the improved ZoeZoe version. Resisters will be cheerfully beaten.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Huh. I was a little surprised to see that the mathy brother from Numb3rs is in the movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does anyone disagree that the trailer isn't whitefont fodder?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I support blackfonted trailer talk.

If I only had a brain...

I read that as "I support blackfonted trailer tralk", and I went to a Farscape crossover place.

We've always said before that anything on-air, including teasers, was fair game; I think that goes for the movie trailer, too.

I'm excited to hear how fast the various premiers are selling out. I hope that bodes well for the success of the general release.

Bwah. So maybe they won't CGI-wipe Zoe out with JarJar - they'll replace her with Rygel instead.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Please feel free to highlight anything you feel should be blackfont.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Completely unspoiled speculation about why Book is so scarce in the trailer: He's grabbed by Reavers for "conversion" when a job goes south, and Mal feels responsible for finding him, to put him down, if nothing else.

Joss is a big fan of The Searchers, I think, so it would be a nifty variation, especially with Mal's attitude towards religion being so complicated.

As I said, just a total shot-in-the-dark guess.

eta The premise would work for Kaylee too, which would be closer to The Searchers, but I don't think she could hold out as long as Book could, given that he seems to have had some kind of military/police training.
