HBO and Fox negotiated over Star Wars, why not Firefly?

HBO has embraced the Force, agreeing to lay out about $15 million for the exclusive pay TV rights to "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones." The far-reaching deal also encompasses exclusive windows for HBO on the previous four "Star Wars" movies and a first negotiating position on "Star Wars: Episode III," which is in the early stages of pre-production. HBO gets "Clones" in late summer for an 18-month exclusive window; the movie then goes into a four-year broadcast/basic cable license term. HBO gets the movie back for subsequent windows after the four years.

Has YOUR mom seen Firefly, lately?
