I mean I dont think it was a rights think, Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell pretty much independantly produced it from thie rown pockets. There was just no reason ot have an evil dead 2 if evil dead one was to be in continuation, at least not with Ash in it. So they pretty much redid it and started it over. Thats why I considered it seperate from the other 2.
