Eh, I think there’s just as many examples of burned out creatives not wanting to make a sequel, being forced to make a sequel, and it turning out poorly. A recent example would be Matrix 4.
I agree that continuity is important, but I think inspiration is the most important thing. If somebody doesn’t have a good story to tell in a universe, it doesn’t matter if they have perfect attention to continuity, they’re telling a bad story.
