I sort of agree, sort of disagree.
I absolutely DESPISE it when long-removed sequels do nothing but reference the previous work with winks and nudges and even blatant stealing. It's the worst. But I actually really like that stuff in small doses.
Because what I also dislike are sequels and spin-offs that seem to have almost no connection to their predecessor. I recently went through Chrono Cross again and it just baffled me why they didn't just make it its own game. I'm still really wary of the Code Geass spinoff that's set in the same world which should have NONE of the same characters (though I imagine there'll be a small cameo, like Zero being shown on TV). It's different in this case because Avatar has a much better world to play around with whereas Code Geass' strength lay mostly in its characters, but I think the underlying principle is still there.

So anyway I think I'm going to be happy because it really seems like it's going to be its own story, but there will also be references and such to the ATLA series and the Gaang. I'm hoping there won't be too much, never enough to take away from this being Korra's story, but I think there should be room for some. I mean, Korra is the avatar. She is connected to Aang. The Gaang was connected to the previous avatar because of Zuko, also.
Also, the Avatar world has never felt small to me, so I guess I'm not that worried.

Really? I personally thought the number of recurring characters was pretty high for a series about a group of kids traveling all over the world. It never bothered me, though.

Well, I suppose you're right about recurring characters. I was comparing it to the Star Wars prequels in particular, who took a whole galaxy - including a planet said to have a population in the trillions - and made it all about like five people. Regardless of the fact that all the old masters know each other and the cabbage merchant shows up in every town, from Avatar I always got the impression that theirs was a world full of cities of people all going about their lives apart from the Gaang. Before they arrived, after they left, lots of lives going on, mostly just regular people trying to lead their lives. Each nation had a different culture, and even towns within those nations had individual differences.
