Yeah I’ll always wonder if it would have bombed if it pulled through. It wasn’t enough that they already practically got rid of Tron in Legacy. It was sad that they didn’t get Daft Punk to come back for the soundtrack instead of Skrillex. It probably wouldn’t be that bad because one thing that people always seem to never mention is that Daft Punk collaborated with Joseph Trapanese for it, he also did Tron Uprising. I only thought some of the music was recognizably Daft Punk. I’d bet the rest was Trapanese and Daft Punk gave it all the computery razzle dazzle and then Disney just put their name on the album for name recognition. So they would probably get another soundtrack specialist to collaborate.
As far as Uprising goes it doesn’t really return to the inside a computer theme but I still strongly recommend it because its almost like its own great thing

Not gonna lie. I didn’t like legacy at all so I’m not very disappointed.

I seem to be one of the few who loved Legacy to bits. But even so, I didn’t even know a third movie was still happening. I thought the plug had been pulled long ago. I guess it’s a shame, but I never had my hopes up anyway.

I personally quite liked Legacy. It wasn’t perfect; Sam’s role in the outside world was a bit unclear, the way a lot of the programs acted didn’t seem quite program-ish in comparison to those from the original movie, (Mainly in the scene at Castor’s bar) and it failed to flesh out the central theme of pefection as much as it should have.
But regardless, the soundtrack is amazing, the setpieces absolutely impressive, and despite the aforementioned issues, there really is a lot more substance there than a lot of people are willing to give it credit for, which I find kind of sad, to be honest. Of course, I may just be biased, as it’s frankly a rather nostalgic experience for me, that brings to mind a lot of positive memories that are only tangentially related.
Shame about Tron 3 getting the boot. Maybe we’ll get it in another twenty years or so?
