Yeah Disney loves making sequels that don’t give any closure on anything hinted in earlier movies.

I think they’re aware that fans develop opinions and debates and discourse over that stuff real fast, and so if they’re ever really clear on what the previous lore meant, they’ll alienate at least half the fan base.

Like how when they started making the Star Wars movies about Finn and Poe and Rey, there was immediate fandom flamewar over who to ship with who… and so they ended up with pretty much nobody shipped with anybody.

Perfect for audience involvement. (Well, maybe slightly less horrible for audience involvement than any shipping they could actually have done.)

(In the case of very popular fandoms like SW, there is usually a lot of awfulness among both the fans and the property owners, and those things tend to feed each other.)

(Tron has, up to now, been at least partially an exception to that, maybe because it’s not all that popular actually.)

(what happens now, though? I dunno. We’ll see.)
