: Hmmm,Well,firstly with out Star Wars there would be no Indiana Jones,certainly not as we know it.Firstly,without Starwars Lucas would not have been able to fund Raiders and secondly he would not have cast Ford as he was virtually unknown before Star Wars.Certainly he played a tiny role in an earlier lucas film,but would he have been cast as the lead rolw without his success in Star wars to back him up??? The answer is obviously no.You're not much of an indyfan yourself if you can say things like "the Indian Jones'
: franchise died 13 years ago." What do you call "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" what do you call "Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine" what do you call the countless novels,and MOST IMPORTANTLY have you never heard of a film (made 11 years ago) known as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade????And Im not going to even bother argue your nosensical point that "You cannot be a fan of both".This is just pathetic.If you are unaware of The Last Crusade then YOU are not an Indyfan AT ALL.I rest my case,Kenneth.


: : When are you all going to realize that Star Wars and all of its miserable characters is the singular reason the Indian Jones' franchise died 13 years ago. You cannot be a fan of both. In this duel, it is either them or us. Pick a side! If not for obi-won and the rest of those silly named sci-fi Star Trek wanabees, there would have been many more Indy sequels and novels, and we all wouldn't be sitting around for 13 years wondering when Lucas and Spielberg are going to get off their infatuation with those loser futuristic flyboys and focus on a real, believable hero like Indy. The Star Wars franchise has not put Indy on the back burner, it has kicked it completely off the stove. So for those of you making Star Wars talk on this scene, bug off and go somewhere else. Face it. Star Wars killed Indy long ago. Star Wars sucks!
