Screenwriter Travis Wright Responds to Blade Runner 2 Story

I'm up for some persuasion if someone can truly convince me that Blade Runner 2 may be a worthwhile sequel.
Travis Wright, who was one of the screenwriters working on this and was the one who mentioned it during the Q&A, got in touch with SlashFilm in order to clarify all the details, from his own history to misconceptions to thoughts on sci-fi and why exactly he wanted to write this.

Here's the thing - Wright will immediately be starting at the very bottom and he'll have to fight his way up. There's no way around it and he's got to prove to millions of hardcore sci-fi fans that his story for the sequel ain't so bad after all. But before he can even get to that, he's got to prove that he's someone fans can trust. "I am a geek. I am a total fan boy. I have toys all over my office that [writing partner John Glenn] has always made fun of (we've been friends since third grade)," Wright explains. So he confirms that he's a geek that is potentially worthy of taking on a monumental task like this while at the same time respecting everything about the original Blade Runner. So what's next after gaining our trust?

John Glenn and I were paid to explore a potential secret sequel from [2003 to 2005] and wrote several [Blade Runner] sequel approaches working with Bud Yorkin.
"My only intention as a writer, in pursuing this project, is to help explore some of the questions Blade Runner raises that were the fodder for endless debate among my friends for two decades now," he explains.

So what are the questions that he is hoping to answer in a sequel?

"What does it mean to be human? That's the central question in life and the paramount question in Science Fiction. More pointedly: Is or isn't Deckard a replicant? What happens to Rachel? What are the off world colonies like? What happens to replicants once Tyrell is killed by one of his creations? These are some of the questions we explored with Bud Yorkin for a few years and I believe are a great basis for a story many fans like me are dying to see. Working on them has been a dream."
