Not all sequels are equivalent. Some are no better than reboots capitalizing on a movie's success while others are intentional to tell a story that cannot be told in a single 2 hour segment. Star Wars (the first 6 episodes) is a good example of the latter. The crap Disney is flinging at the screen under the name of Star Wars is a good of the former.
