: This past week we had the pleasure of chatting with Jim Ward, head of marketing at Lucasfilm. We asked him about why, on the video release of Raiders of the Lost Ark, it was being renamed to "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark". He basically told us that Lucas looks at the Young Indiana Jones movies and the Indiana Jones movies as all part of the same storyline. Technically, Raiders is one of the later episodes in the storyline while the Young Indy movies are the earlier ones. When they are all released on video soon, they want to reflect that storyline consistency on the packaging. The old Raiders title kind of jumps out apart from the rest which is why it was changed. When asked if it was changed on the film itself, he said it was not. It's only on the video packaging.

: I guess the opening credits will the same, if this is correct.

: There was also news on Indy 4 from a question and answer session with Steve Sansweet. He says the Indy 4 script will be ready in 4-5 years.

Found this correction on theforce.net, concerning Indy 4, copied from their prequel page-

First the Indy 4 script is ready, according to Steve Sansweet, it is just a matter of getting Lucas, Spielberg, and Harrison Ford together to film it, which would probably not be until after Episode III (this is where the 4-5 years came from in Matt's report).
