Yeah, that's sort of my metaphor. Though, maybe a better one would be the Christmas Special, since the Prequels are at least structurally, thematically, and continuity-wise connected to the original trilogy in a way that Rebuild 3 and 4 could not be.

(It's not just that. Evangelion is the Star Wars of anime, kinda: a huge deal, marketed all to hell, and people think it's a lot more original than it really is because its biggest influences are considred deep cuts.)
