: Lucas says they have a script. Ford and Spielberg say they don't. Classic Lucas scenario - in his mind he has what he wants. The other two disagree. I believe this is why Jeffery Boam was brought in to save the day with Last Crusade. All three love the Indy franchise so much, none of them want a bad product.

: I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but Lucas for all his talents can be a bit eccentric. I wish somebody had been holding the trump card over the script for Phantom Menace. What I wouldn't give for a world without Jar Jar Binks and flat performances due to the overuse of computer animation! Ooops! Did I say that out loud?

: Cheers!

I wouldn't be surpised if Lucas' "script" is no more than a story idea in his head. I'm also glad he doesn't have complete control over Indy 4, considering some of his recent "ideas", (ie. killing Chewie; the Greedo 'self-defense' scene; waiting a few years until DVD is really cutting-edge; etc)
