Tolkien could have made the sequels to the LOTR stories, but mostly threw them out because he felt that no matter when they would just altogether ruin the collective. And he was right.
Blade Runner is a story that DOES NOT NEED A SEQUEL
I kind of agree with your premise. Ends are important things. This is why i dislike when an ended story gets dragged along, eventually ruining the point of the original story. Ex: the Matrix Sequels
However, this isnt what is happening. This is not a continuation/dragging of the original Blade Runner.. its a new story, merely using the setting (and some character) of the original. Think like Aliens. Or maybe Toy Story 2. Or The Road Warrior/Fury Road.
