Despite what fans of original Star Wars and Dallas would have liked to see we were cast aside to make way for shiny new things. Disney Star Wars is the stand out here as those older characters were brushed aside so the new creators could introduce their characters, their universe...oh and let's not forget the merchandise side of things.Like Disney Star Wars the producers of TNT Dallas used legacy characters to draw us in but once discovered I sat there thinking, "Where is J.R.? Where is Sue Ellen?" Disney producers used the same trick. Legacy characters sprinkled here and there to prop up the newbies. I understand the universe of Star Wars and Dallas is an ongoing story - and it should be - but Star Wars: The Force Awakens should have had their legacy characters front and center, not used as props.When TNT Dallas was nearing its premiere news organizations or morning shows only had an interest in speaking with Larry, Linda and Patrick but when the series made it to air something different was offered...and we all know how that ended.</blockquote>
