Alright, so it's early yet and there are no guarantees there will BE a Tron 3. But I'm hoping there will be. It seems Legacy sets up a few things for Tron 3... or at least plants some seeds they could use if they need to.

What do you guys think/hope we'll see?

Since Legacy was about Flynn, I think Alan/Tron might feature more in 3. At the end as "Rinzler" disappears into the Sea of Simulation, his lights turn blue. I really think he survived. Maybe 3 will be about his redemption? Actually, Tron: Redemption might be a cool title!

I also imagine Edward Dillinger might show up. It seems strange to cast Cillian Murphy in such a small cameo role if there wasn't the possibility of his return. Since he seems to be a computer genius and may be disgruntled once Sam and Alan take Encom back - I can see him hacking into the Grid to become the bad guy of the next film.

It'll be interesting to see where Quorra and Sam's story goes. I was a little fuzzy on just how Quorra's digital DNA was supposed to change the world...

And finally, I'm hoping Castor and Gem (like any shady dealers worth their salt) had an emergency escape route to make it out of the End of Line club. I'd like them to come back for the sequel.

Definitely some Ed Dillinger Jr in Tron 3.
Having him cameo like that for a few minutes was definitely designed to feel like "Woah, Dillinger's son? What's going on here??"
Now. we. wait.
Hopefully not 28 years haha

I think it'd be interesting to see the technology of digitizing going "mainstream."

If Isomorphic Algorhythms can be created out of nothing and can be repaired/restored then that shows how "miraculous" they could be.

What if people suddenly had an Encom-marketed ability to go into a world free from disease, a world where a person who couldn't walk could suddenly do so again thanks to an IsoAlg? Think of the implications.

That would lead to the impact on religion, medicine, commuincations that Alan said Flynn spoke of all those years ago.

Now, think of the implications between those of the real world who believe that to be immoral, not a true way to live versus those who would see this as nothing short of a miracle. That would be an interesting battle across lines of politics, science, morality and even mortality.

I think this would make for an interesting setup. The idea of what could be considered a digital utopia is a big one. The idea of programs deciding to control it - or of Dillinger making a power play - could be very interesting and lead to a rather epic battle within the system. A Sark 2.0 working for Dillinger, keeping tabs on the system while drawing in and keeping users for his own purposes - control over the Grid would lead to serious power in the real world for Dillinger.

Just some thoughts!

It is likely that by the time of the third movie, Quorra is feeling "homesick" and probably talks Sam into either restoring the old server (using the info he downloaded) or starting a new one.

Ed Jr. hacked pretty neatly into the system to shut down Flynn's hack, so he definitely has some skills.
And while we know Sr. went to prison, we don't know how long.
I mean, surely he has been out for a while now (28 years seems like a long time for industrial espionage.)

So what have Daddy and Jr. been up to together?
Has Sr. been grooming Jr to help get revenge on the Flynn's and Encom?

What was said earlier could interestingly enough play into that.
What if Sr. is having health problems, and Jr. sees the digital world as a way to help his dad live a better life?
Sr. doubtless would have heard rumors of "how" Flynn got the information back, and he may have been seeking his own way into the digital realm.

There are many possibilities, but I would hate to see it turn into Jr controlling MCP2, which would just be a rehash of the original.
I want to see something new and different.

I can see it changing religion as basically a new life form was created digitally and then made flesh... that'd have wide-reaching implications. The rest is murky. It doesn't seem like just anyone could be digitized, fixed and then reconstituted because you'd have to be able to fix the basic code... is that possible with a user? Or is digital DNA like stem cells - infinitely adaptable?

Well, for turning the digital into flesh, I think I have an answer. The Shiva Laser has cylinders attached to it at the base that contain different elements, I got to see it closeup over the summer. One has H2O...water and the other Carbon. Those are two elements all life on this planet are made of. Now throw a little digital code alchemy in and viola, you have flesh and blood. Now, about the idea that somehow an ISO could change the way we live in the real world, I have no idea.

Hopefully Legacy has legs in the coming weeks. If so, then this thread is very relevant.

Initial returns from the opening midnight are very encouraging. Unless the fan crowd that saw it last night are the only people who will go to see it -- and I think that's not likely -- I am hopeful that TRON Legacy will have a better than respectable opening weekend.

I say BRING TRON BACK!
I want to see Tron redeemed and brought back to the hero he is.
I hope that Ed Jr. has a new MCP up his sleeve
something developed privately with the help of his father
starting out with him as a kid playing chess
but as Ed Jr. grew, so did MCP 2.0
I'd like to see Tron have to come back
and once again save the ENCOM system
along with Sam Flynn and Quorra.
I believe this has set us up to come full circle to the next generation in TR3N

Perhps an idea of gamers logging in the system and got digitized and fighting real time against the new MCP in an internet world in Tron 3. that would be interestng.

the more I dwell on it, Tron Legacy almost seems like a Back To The Future II - and we all know BTTFIII was better.

Welcome to the board . Good to see another TRON executive/production member here. I thank you guys for listening to us despite the partial flaws the sequel has. Otherwise, I enjoyed it. I'm not very surprised about the TRON 3 elements and how it will transition over and I'm very sure the chip Sam has downloaded to will play a part in ENCOM's server which is huge compared to Kevin Flynn's lab.

I certainly hope Clu isn't dead as I loved his nonchalant and disciplined presence. I believe he and Flynn are fused together similar to Dragon Ball Z but done differently. They will have to split again for part 3 and this time, Clu is rectified and programmed for good against another hacker threat or whatnot.

I don't think Dillinger Jr should be evil like his father but rather have altruistic reasons, perhaps teaming up with Sam and Quorra. Kevin Flynn could still get out of the system if his still alive inside Sam's memory card, including TRON which would require Alan's real source code for an upgrade. The real TRON in ENCOM for 2010 has to be much more advanced than TRON in Flynn's Grid.
