Standard Lucas stuff! Generate as much cash as you can while building virtually free press coverage. There will likely be a 20 year rerelease in 2001, setting the stage for preproduction media plugs for Indy IV in early 2002, with a release in 2003. That loosly fits the 5 year timeline we've all heard.

HF at 61, though? Not too many close-up's I'll bet. I just hope St. George doesn't screw this one up, i.e. "Phantom Menace". I know the cast (HF and SC) could carry off a dog of a script, but it would be a shame to end with something of questionable quality.

: Ok, so we finally have deffinate word on the
: re-release of the Indy films and 12 of the Young Indy adventures..
: now, let me specualte for just a moment..i want to hear what the rest of you think..

: 1995- Lucas re-releases the Star Wars films in THX sound and picutre
: quality..
: 1997- Lucas and company re-lease The Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition..

: 1999- Lucas and company re-release Indy in THX....(right?)

: I am speculating that this is being done to stir interest
: in Indy and laying the eventual ground work for Indy IV..
: what do you all think?
