Lucas on Why no Star Wars DVD -- could it be the same reason for Indy, too?

I was checking out theforce.net and came upon this piece of news
explaining why there isn't going to be a TPM DVD... yet.

Lucasfilm on why no DVD

If you're looking for an official explanation as to why there's no
Episode I DVD, this is about as close as you're going to get short of
asking Uncle George yourself. Hollywood.Com has the following quote:

"George would love to do something special with the DVD release,
but he won't do it until he has time to concentrate on it," said Lynne
Hale, a spokeswoman for Lucasfilms Ltd.
"Right now he's writing the script for 'Episode II,' then we go right
into principal photography this summer in Australia. And after that,
he'll be working on 'Episode III,' so it could be some time before
he's able to devote the time needed to work on the DVD," Hale said.

I have a feeling that could be the same reason why there isn't a Indy
DVD. I doubt very much that Indy DVD will be out in March since there
is no TPM DVD yet. Afterall guys, Star Wars is top priority for
Lucasfilm, Indy... about a distant 2nd place. Of course, I could be
wrong, and I hope I'm wrong.
