The original principals would still be there, if interested, and would be handing off to the next generation of warriors, etc.

My point is that with a live action continuation, this is what you would have to do. There is no other alternative other than mixing the old characters with new ones. Where as, with an animated version that restriction is lifted. If the producers wanted to, they could pick the story up anywhere since the age of the actors and the time that has passed in the real world would not affect it.
An animated version means that the story doesn't have to be 25 years laters and still no earth. We could instead pick up 5 minutes after Starbuck's gun bumps that button. I'm suggesting that that freedom is what makes the idea of an animated version so popular.
