Since you're a moderator, Nechy, I'll try to stop worrying about it.

He's too good for President. Take on a job where he's immediately blamed for every problem in the world, and so busy he wouldn't have time for his movies (and DOCTOR HORRIBLE 2!! GET ON WITH IT MAN!!)

*space samurai movie for the most part.

Much of the aesthetics were inspired by Japanese culture, such as Darth Vader's helmet strongly resembling a samurai kabuto. Mystical all-binding will force of life itself, a lone ronin taking on a corrupted shogun - these are all classic Japanese tropes. Chewbacca himself certainly resembles something culled from Shinto mythology.

But yeah, characters like Han Solo and Boba Fett carry very strong Western influence as well.

Mhm, George Lucas has said that he was very strongly influenced by Western's while he was writing it, which is one of the reasons it resembles the Hero's Journey so much.

From what I've read, there were people who thought the idea was weird.

But yeah. Firefly is awesome.

Woah okay. But seriously please post this when you think it is somewhat of a finished state.

And yeah Firefly kicks ass.

It's in script form, so I'll have to transfer it into book form, which I'm best at. I'll only put a short amount on for you. When it's finished, I'll let you know. But first I wanna work on my novel. And I won't give off ANY info on that. I love surprises.

I thought it was a bad idea at first, too. And for a few weeks it was bad, but then it became so-so, then OK, now it's AT THE MOST 7.3 out of 10. Not great, but good enough for me. It's just supposed to be something new and unexpected. And you know what? Joss Whedon was laughed at for trying to make Firefly, a space-western, but that show was actually good for the 14 episodes it ran. So when people laugh at me, I feel good about myself. So suck on that.

Woah okay. But seriously please post this when you think it is somewhat of a finished state.
