Oh, and about the Star Wars prequels - whether or not they did a good job at following established continuity is a moot argument.  They were still designed to take place before Episodes IV-VI, not to start over and pretend they didn't exist (again, how well they did this is moot).  Therefore, prequel and not reboot in any way.

Yes, I was somewhat joking.  But you have to look at the way that "new" Star Wars exists almost to the exclusion of "old" Star Wars and wonder if there wasn't an attempt to "effectively" reboot it, even if they didn't "technically" reboot it.

Therefore, different M - she just happens to be played by the same actress.

Is that more likely than "new Bond, same M"?

So I guess the term "sequel-reboot" can apply here.

I win?  ;)
