Star Wars Insider - IJ mentions

HJere's another good bit I should have posted long ago, it's from Star Wars Insider #42 which is from 2 months ago (it has the close up of Darth Maul on the cover) anyway, there's an interview with George Lucas and here's a little bit from it:

SWI: What were your reason for going into the Indiana Jones series, and is there a future for it - is there more coming?

LUCAS: Actually, Indiana Jones just sort of popped out of my mind while I was trying to work on Star Wars. Sometimes when you're thinking and doing things, other things end up striking you. So I came up with this idea of this archaeologist who is kind of a treasure hunter going after sacred artifacts. Part of it was [my] anthropology background, part of it was that there is this Republic serial component in Star Wars and I was looking at Republic serials. So I came up with another serial basically - it came out of my research. I didn't want to direct it, because I was doing Star Wars, so I tried to get my friends to do it, and I couldn't get anybody to do it. Finally I told it to Steven and he jumped on it.
There may be another one. I've got a script finished and it's really a matter of Steven and Harrison's time.
