They definitely needed to continue with the story. The final card of the closing credits of the final episode said that they were going to be back. There could be plenty of more adventures.

Let's not forget Arnold Schwarzenegger in AC/DC's Big Gun from the Last Action Hero soundtrack. Apparently Arnold is a huge AC/DC fan and asked the band to write a song for the movie. One of the best parts is when he picks up the Angus cap and puts it on and is transformed into a jumbo sized copy of Angus and then started mimicking him.

What I like about Brosnan's Bond is that with him being a Bond fan himself, he took his favorite parts of his predecessors portrayal and used that as his portrayal of the character.

That is why the EU / Legends stories are so good. Luke built upon the foundations of the old Jedi teachings and evolved the Jedi to meet the challenges posed by what is going on now. And train a new generation of Jedi.
