Well if we follow the Tron Uprising story it was supposed to tell the story of how a partially derezzed Tron got corrupted into Rinzler, but also that he was training Beck to be the next Tron. I was hoping for a continuation of that story, but I would still like to see the original Tron either bringing in the next Tron or becoming a Tron 2.0 version of himself, like how the original Clu was derezzed so Flynn programmed a Clu 2.0 who ironically becomes the major villain of the system after the MCP is gone.At Walt Disney World last year my family and I experienced Tron: Lightcycle Run. It's a fun (if short) roller coaster, that definitely puts you in the Grid.
But there's NO TRON AT ALL in the ride. He's not represented, not mentioned, not pictured, not animated, not referenced, no voiceover from Bruce Boxleitner... nothing.
During the ride queue at the big reveal, you are "digitized" onto the Grid, but the ride voice says: "Users, prepare to be digitized into the world of TRON." It's as if Disney forgot that TRON is a character, not a city/place/name of the Grid. The ride does not really integrate the story of the TRON movies, although it does have one of the Sirens from TRON: Legacy give the safety spiel, and the coaster cars are designed to look like the TRON: Legacy Lightcycles.
And TRON: Legacy BARELY even had TRON in the film at all, ala Luke Skywalker in TFA. So I have no idea if Disney is getting Bruce back for at LEAST a cameo in the new film (TRON: Legacy left the schizophrenic Rinzler character turning back into TRON at the last minute, never to be seen again).
But they did get Bruce and Cindy (RIP) out last March for the grand opening, and Bruce went on the ride.
But I'd also be okay if they Luke Skywalker'd Tron in that the use Boxleitner's face on a new actor so he could do all the awesome fighting he was doing in Uprising. He was pretty much Batman in that, but limited in that he would have to return to his proverbial Batcave to recharge himself after short periods of time. Although being that Rinzler was fully whole and reverted back into Tron that may not even be necessary.
