retreading the same ground this soon

Nobody asked, but the first movie came out in 2001, which was 25 years ago. The time between Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace was 16 years. Indiana Jones 4 was 19 years after The Last Crusade. Gladiator II was 24 years after Gladiator, and people were asking why bother after such a long time. “Oh, but the most recent one came out way later than 2001!” Yep. 2011. 15 years ago. It’s older than Gangnam Style.

They seem pretty durable, but they may spontaneously develop a hole if you ask a racist question.
