Somehow I really don't like that option... for one thing, it completely contradicts the story of "after the Earth got used up". I also think it fits in much better with the "Firefly" story of life being controlled and ultimately nearly ruined by the big corporations and governments.
Besides, what would really be the point of the Earth turning out to be actually okay, after all? Seems to me it really doesn't matter to the plot whatsoever...

Personally, I think it's going to turn out to be a prologue type thingy, showing the evacuation. I doubt Earth will actually feature at all in the story.
I read a review of the film (apparantly it's had quite a few test showings already, or was it a leaked script. I forget) that says the film dose indeed start with a prologue, bringing everyone up-to-date from EtW to the Unification Wars and the state of the 'Verse in general. So in all likeyhood, EtW dosen't figure much in the plot.
