There really isn't a "should" or "shouldn't" for what to be excited about. You have every right to be excited for something.
As for getting excited for game sequels, that's really just up in the air. I've had some sequels that I've been excited for not pan out well, like Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts or Mass Effect Andromeda. But I've also had a few titles surprise me. I was pretty nervous about Resident Evil 7 after 6 and the fact that Umbrella Corps came out not too long before it, but I ended up loving 7. It's one of my favorite games in the series. I was also nervous about Nier Automata since the first Nier looked a bit awkward to me and the fact that Platinum's 2016 games were pretty disappointing. Loved that game too. That's the thing about not just games, but all forms of media and art: sometimes it works, sometimes it flops, and sometimes creators learn from their mistakes to improve their future endeavors.
As for Battlefront, I was also disappointed by it, especially how much it pales in comparison to the original two games. However, it seems like EA is at the very least acknowledging the past games faults and trying to fix them for Battlefront 2. It was one of the couple games at EA's presentation that actually got any of my attention, and I do hope that the size of the content and the single player campaign turn out well. But, right now, that's up in the air. It has some promise, and who knows, maybe it'll deliver on it.
It also might end up being a disappointment, but sometimes that happens. We'll just have to wait and see.
