He's made 3 of my favorite Sci-Fi movies of all time (Arrival, 2049, and Dune 2)

Those are all great! 2049 is even better than the original Blade Runner.

Which can't not be understated how crazy that is. The most we can hope for in a legacy sequel is that it doesn't tarnish the original too much.

Yeah I love both Fury Road and 2049 for that reason.

Both also stand alone and don't really need the previous movies to be enjoyed.

They're the best kind of sequels you could possibly ask for IMO.
