No power in the Verse can stop MusicEd now!

The second chapter in Ed's Serenity Chronicles is another WINNER!

It is by far the most challenging of the three part trilogy, as War Stories weaves together material from four different episodes. But Ed pulls it off wonderfully, tying the stories together with underlying series stories arcs and further connecting it with the River Tam sessions. It truly feels like a complete story rather than a bunch of episodes stitched together. Yes, it has a slightly episodic feel (or rather a three act arc with an epilogue), but that is not a bad thing -- ever seen the The Godfather? It is very episodic in structure. So Ed is in good company.

And the best thing, you do not need to be a Firefly fan or have any knowledge of the series to follow, understand or be entertained by this movie. I watched with my bride, who has never seen the show or even part one, and she was completely enthralled from beginning to end. So fantastic work on narrative!

And the trailer for Part Three has left me salivating! Bring it on!!!

Awesome edit. THUMBS UP!

Okay edit-wise this is perfect, I liked the inclusion of the River Tam sessions as flashbacks, generally I didn't have fault with the use of deleted scenes in the first chapter other than the fact you could sort of f tell they were deleted scenes, this isn't an issue here. Nothing lost or noticeable except for maybe one scene change.

Story:Okay, The first volume dealt with getting the crew together and barely did we get to see Simon or River, because that was not their story. here they take joint centre stage with Mal and Zoe. And Jayne of course, as I already said, the inclusion of Rivers videos helps to establish her character a little more and even though I already know what happens, the final scene of the edit left me wanting more.

I urgently anticipate the third and final chapter.
Congrats and thank you MusicED921 for an entertaining reentry into the whedonverse.

Part 2 of the Firefly series by MusicEd is quite an interesting one... It definitely carries a much darker and sinister tone than the first installment. Almost feels like there is a new director at the helm.

The pacing was a bit slower, the jokes were fewer in between, but it was still good. Between the 3 films, this feels the furthest away from the series as a whole. Not necessarily a bad thing, but also very different than my expectations.

Editing-wise - flawless. Absolutely professional editing quality. Just makes me hope that the deleted scenes will be released in 1080p... :)
