Lets see.
He made a very good kids' film fourty years ago, helped make several other admirable films in the two decades that follow, wrapped them in a pretentious rhetoric, had been a source of constant misinformation to his audience (mostly in the interest of aggrandizing his creative properties) and then he sold-off those creative properties to make
"experimental films" a shit ton of money.Literally the only reason why Temple of Doom is a dark red movie is because Lucas was going through a divorce at the time.

Will this flick have any babes in it?
Not that I class her as your usual generic stunner, but I found that the more I watched Waller-Bridge (in Fleabag), the cuter she got. By the end I thought she was fit AF. Certainly a "weird fancy" for me.
I would be massively surprised if she was ever your type though, even stranded on a desert island.

The Empty Man. A creepy thriller about a made up urban legend, but also not your average run-of-the-mill teeny horror movie as it was probably very awkwardly marketed to be. Film is longer than I'd have preferred, but it turns out there's a whole mythology in there which the writer director takes great care in layering everything in, interwoven as it is with the central conspiracy of the main plot. It's all surprisingly quite epic, and curious as hell throughout. Performances are really strong, especially from the main chap playing the investigative ex cop, his slipping sanity and the impulsive reactive dialogue with it was really believable and well done. We all think and talk this way to ourselves when weird shit happens to us, and that detailing adds nice authenticity to the characterisation on show. It's all utter hokum, but that never stopped David Lynch's brand of bizarro sci-fi from tapping into our ungraspable fears, and it doesn't fail here either. I really liked this, there was something slightly Lovecraftian about it. Box office failure and later cult favourite written all over the thing.

It's also a bit much, a bit wishful thinking, to have those expectations of an artist touching 90 years old.

I wouldn't if it meant people started actively bothering him, but they're brilliant when they turn up.
You don't want to see video of Lucas leaving his bathroom with a towel around his waist?

Aww man I'd love banal sightings of Lucas to become a thing, like an ongoing meme.

I hope this score has a really good, strong, memorable, long-lined theme for the film's macguffin.
Raider's Ark Theme is amazing
Temple of Doom's Shankara Stones Theme is great
Last Crusade's Grail Theme is amazing
Crystal Skull's Crystal Skull Theme is..... eh... it's fine
Let's go back to the strong memorable themes that the biblical artifacts had!
At the very least, I hope it's more like Tintin's Unicorn Theme, and less like the Call Of The Crystal...As you know, Williams wrote TWO really strong Indiana Jones macguffin themes in later years, he just put them in the wrong movies.
The Unicorn treasure theme from Tintin
The Jedi Steps theme from TFA.
JW is still easily very capable of delivering the goods in this way, he just needs to get his priorities back into order.

He can always ride a horse or drive a car/plane/whatever in the action sequences. I'm more concerned about whether they'll return to the series' roots and ditch the bad CGI, the over-reliance on soundstages, lack of overseas/exotic locations, poorly structured plotting, non-existent cast chemistry, cringe-worthy attempts at humour, non-Biblical non-religious artifacts, etc.
Just going ALL practical with nary a digital shot in sight would go a LONG way towards restoring authenticity to the Indiana Jones cinematic experience. Heck, I even think slightly hokey fx could help turn a fairly bad script into schlocky fun one.

Mangold is a quality director. I have no concerns about this film under his stewardship, personally.
All this whining about Indy's age, yet it was the least of KOCS's problems.
At the same time, that was 13 years ago. Ford wasn't touching 80 at that time 🤷♂️

I didn't play Days Gone, but I read a lot of good and bad about it. Mixed reception, then (although seeming unanimity in regard to its strong second half). But mixed reaction is much more of an incentive for me to try something than boring old "universal praise", so I'm planning on getting it for PC later this year.

They cancelled Days Gone sequels (upsetting a legion of fans in the process) and decided to recycle exhaustingly done to death old content instead, how ambitious of Sony. Dead boring.

Does the music belongs to Disney? I know the films up to Indy 5 don't. But I have no clue about the music rights.
All your Lucasfilm soundtracks are belong to us.
Do you admire George Lucas?
