For Example 1, there was supposed to be a THIRD trilogy that wraps that all up in a nice and tidy bow. Too bad George Lucas doesn't want to tackle that one, but given the example of the Star Trek reboot, I'm wondering if he still can't be persuaded - he always did seem to follow Gene Rodenberry's lead (i.e.: his initial feelings about fanfiction), and I hope that he will do so now with the franchise being under 'new management' as it were.
And Example 2, that's just poor writing there - most likely because Nickelodeon wouldn't give them a budget for a third season.
This is part of why fanfiction exists in the first place, after all.
