i don’t like sequels when there’s too much time between their productions. i say that once a year has passed after a movie is released that you have no right to make or even consider making a sequel. your window has passed.
While Tron 2 would indeed be a muthafriggin’ dream come true I remain skeptical. I’ve been reading/hearing talk of this for almost a decade now. In terms of theking’s views on sequels I present to you exhibit A; “Phantasm II,” ten years later and still a sweet sequel
Aww com’on… Starship Troopers 2 rulz! Steady Eddie Neumeier can do no wrong in my books. BTW, what are you doing watching Evening Star in the first place? Yikes!
PS. There’s a straight to DVD Starship Troopers 3 on the way. It’s called “Marauder” and Ed Neumeier is directing.
“...once a year has passed after a movie is released that you have no right to make or even consider making a sequel.”
Really!? So you think about 95% of all sequels never should never even have been considered - much less produced? No Godfather, no T2, no Empire Strikes Back, no 28 Weeks Later, no Aliens? I mean the list goes on and on.
You MAY have a valid argument, but your time frame I think is a little small. But I don’t think time should matter at all. If someone wanted to do a sequel for Metropolis (1927), I’d be all about it. Time means nothing to film (usually).

Jeff Bridges also needs work.

Furthermore:
Before Sunset, Clerks 2, and the “Up” series of documentaries.
On the Other hand, Dirty Dancing 2, Starship Troopers 2, and The Evening Star (sequel to Terms of Endearment)…

just be grateful that they didn’t decide to REMAKE Tron.
