http://screencrush.com/selective-sequels/
A standard sequel continues all of the ongoing stories from previous films. Return of the Jedi concludes the narrative started by Star Wars and continued by The Empire Strikes Back. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home focuses primarily on a time-traveling adventure, but it also explores the fallout of Spock’s death and resurrection in the previous two films, The Wrath of Khan and The Search For Spock. In contrast, a selective sequel picks and chooses which parts of previous continuity to use and which to discard as if they never happened.
