Diego 21 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Lucas is completely disconnected from the rest of the world, I don't think he cares what the fans want at all. After the prequels, KOTCS and Clone Wars there's no doubt the man is not who he used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Trilogy 39 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I think the plot must be a prequel from CRYSTAL SKULL. Indy's marriage is an ultimate ending for Indiana Jones (LAST CRUSADE has also a superb ending for the trilogy).They just have to make Ford younger.Not really. THE TEMPLE OF DOOM is set on 1935, one year before RAIDERS (1936) starts. RAIDERS is released on 1981 and three years later TEMPLE OF DOOM. Hypothetically, you can say that TOD is a prequel from RAIDERS! And Ford does not look like older on TOD!I think Indy 5 have to start on 1955, two years before CRYSTAL SKULL. I think you cannot see the differnce from his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 With Lucas it's that way: "Well, there will always be some who won't like it, so why should we bother...?"Dunno whether you really mean that or just being facetious, but I'm sure GL also wants to make a movie that satisfies the fans (more or less).I think he showed that when he brought in Spielberg for RotS.I was bloody serious. Despite my immense respect for his (true) achievements, I believe he has lost his understanding of what fans expect and why they don't like his modern flicks. He needs to get out of his own world and come back to touch with the reality.Lucas makes independent movies for his own pleasure.so if you dont like them, he doesnt care.They were just better villains. More fun, too, somehow.I agree, and I think it is partly because they played into the propaganda serials of World War II (especially in the case of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade).Hm, for some reason I doubt they would use Russians again...maybe they will stay away from a military force all together?they will use some strange cult this time, and the russians will return for the next movie, just like the OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego 21 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'm pretty sure Lucas must be pushing to get it made, afterall tha last one did like $700 million and no one loves money more than Lucas (The Clone Wars is a testament to that). Harrison seems to have enjoyed doing KOTCS and let's no forget that he was the best-paid actor last year. I still can't see Spielberg wanting to do another one, I've always thought that his heart just wasn't in it for KOTCS, I think we maybe feels likes his outgrown this kind of films.

Josh500 1,615 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Well, everybody loves money, and the studios love it more than anybody, I think.It's not like Lucas, who is a billionaire three times over, needs any more of it.

Diego 21 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Everybody loves money, I agree. But Lucas could do other stuff, the reality is that his latest proyect, The Clone Wars, is basically a 22 minute weekly add for toys. Didn't he say once after ROTS that he was going to make small films nobody would watch?? Why go back to an already finished Star Wars saga (even the clone wars had already been explored in a previous cartoon)?? The only answer is to sell more toys, and that makes me believe he's only returning to Indy to make a few more dollars rather than a genuine desire to tell compelling stories about Indy.

It may be a show "for kids", but saying it's just a toy commercial is not only very presumptious (and very typical of the one-note anti-Lucas brigade) but also a disservice to a show that has made Star Wars fun again. As Josh said, he doesn't need any more money.The reason for doing it? Demand. You may not like it, but there's still a hell of a lot of people out there who want more Star Wars, for better or for worse. While I love the show, I wish he would go and make those small films. Maybe he will, I don't know. But I'm not going to second-guess the man just for the sake of it as most people enjoy doing. Hell, maybe he is doing it for the money that he pumps back into the movie business, charity causes and education?

It's almost like He-Man, since there's also a morality lesson in every episode. There's also Ashoka which I'm guessing one day Lucas asked someone from his team "So what do kids like these days" and they answered "They like this show called Hanna Montana" "That's perfect, let's give Anakin a 14 year old girl padawan who looks like a model and is very hip and calls Anakin Skyguy"And then there's Ziro the Hutt, yeah Star Wars is fun again...
