Personally I don't want an Indy 4 at all. All I want is for Lucas to stop brushing Indy asside to make room for Star Wars. To prove my point I invite you to go to the Lucas Arts web cite (lucasarts.com) and count the number of Indy games, then count the number of Star Wars games. That says it all. What's his big problem with releasing his movies on DVD? He could have done something for the 20th anniversary. Why did he re-release Star Wars on the big screen, but not Indy? That is what pisses me off about him. He's two faced, and I hate people like that. He says that Indy was his favorite movie, but turns around and pours all his resources (mony, time, etc.) in to Star Wars. You talk about how busy he is, but he's not too busy to make 3 new Star Wars movies. Now you have my two cents

: A lot of people on this forum have put George Lucas down in the
: past. Most of us, I believe are upset that he hasn't given us more
: Indiana Jones movies. But in all fairness, George doesn't owe
: us a thing. Indiana Jones is his creation. I'm not saying that I
: wouldn't have loved to see more Indy movies in the past number
: of years. I'm not saying that it is not we the fan that have made
: George Lucas and his movies a success. I'm saying that George
: Lucas is an artist. He has the right to create his art on his own
: terms. Don't spite him for being an artist. He makes good on his
: word. Many fans didn't believe he would ever finish Star Wars.
: He's doing it. Many fans believe he has been jerking them
: around with the release of The Phantom Menace on DVD. He
: has always maintained that he wanted the release to be special
: with plenty of extras. The expanded DVD is now on it's way. He's
: made Star Wars and Indiana Jones available on tape to placate
: the fan until he could give the DVD releases the attention they
: deserve. When the Last Crusade came out, all involved said it
: would be the last one. Now the big three have changed their
: minds. Ford might be older than many of us fans would like, but
: no one is twisting our arm to go see Indy 4. But mark my words,
: it is coming. We should rejoice. Until recently, Lucas has been
: raising a family. That is where the inactivity has come from. He's
: been inactive in the fan's eyes, but he's been busy with his own
: life. We should cut the guy a break. Just my two cents. Regards,
