This is what I wanted. Why am I wrong for wanting this? Why am I not supposed to be talking about how I wanted this?
I think it's fine to want that. If that happened, it's not like I'd
complain about it.
My stance is that it'd be wholly
unnecessary, would not improve the writing, performances or direction, and it would raise other critiques-- such as, "well they had to bring the old cast back to make this feel legitimate so it's not really since they had to
rely on them" and that's
exactly what a lot of people would say. In fact, that happens almost every time they actually do something like that, and for me, sometimes, things are better off just simply chiseling out their own thing.
Hell, when it was announced that Hamill, Ford and Fisher would be in Star Wars VII, there were immediate outcries of it lacking originality, how the new cast would have to rely on the old cast and how there's that reliance rather than crafting something completely new, how it would be too nostalgia-driven etc. That happened before and even after the movie came out. The difference with Star Wars is that it's another episode, not a wholly disconnected story, and the original actors were still alive and willing to return.
And it would happen elsewhere. If they brought back the two guys that would do it (Hudson and Aykroyd; Bill would not), do you think it'd really help anything aside from a simple connection? Would it really need something like that to establish itself and be anything of quality? I don't personally believe so. That ship sailed and got lost in the Bermuda long ago.
