When I watch Jaws, I don't think Scheider's son grows up, works at Sea World, and gets attacked by another shark. In 3-D.

Absolutely, it's very possible to just simply ignore the next chapters... I personally don't since it's plausible, people do discover years later that they are related by blood in the real life, sucks for them if they actually have done the deed with each other.... hmmm.... though the comparison doesn't work very well since ESB and Rotj contain all the same cast so it is harder to disassociate them from each other than that piece of shit, jaws 3d and the original jaws.
That's what's keeping the PT latched to the OT's leg in the minds of many. Because it was made by lucas, uses william's talents, and contains some of the OT's actors it becomes very difficult to simply ignore it. But I can ignore the holiday special, so it's definitely not impossible.
