same appeal you have with Star Wars, the heros are criminals to the state. Rebels, insurgent fighters against the government. It is a common thread in movies and books.

The characters in Firefly are criminals. They were rebels, but they lost. Now they make ends meet through legal and illegal means.

So you don`t mind calling George Washington and the other U.S. founding fathers criminals?
If they had lost? The British certainly would have tried them as such. Treason is a crime, I believe.

They would have been tried and executed as rebels or traitors not as "common criminals".

criminals/rebels, "Poe-tato"/"po-Tah-to"

The Founding Fathers were criminals, until the Crown recognized the United States of America. That's the way revolutions work. You win, you're the founder of a new nation. You lose, you get convicted and hang. Apparently, there was some kind of amnesty for the characters in Firefly. What did they do with that Amnesty? Rob, smuggle, loot, and commit just about every other conventional crime. They're criminals.
