Attila the Professor said:I defer to the YIJC experts to say whether Mutt marrying a woman who Indy and Marion treat as a daughter, Mutt then dying, and the daughter-in-law then remarrying can account for the canon established in the George Hall segments.
Raiders112390 said:I think that's unfortunately stretching credibility. To be honest, based on her looks/voice etc, I always thought Indy's daughter in the YIJC was a child he might've had Willie. She just looks and sounds like her. Nothing like Marion. But then, in the early 1990s, Indy was supposed to marry another woman, not Marion. I'd love if the George Hall segments were put back into the YIJC, and honestly if they were re-released as a typical show with the original episodes in their proper order...But I think sadly Lucas either destroyed the negatives of George Hall, or made his alterations to the YIJC to the original negatives, basically overwriting Hall out of the negative itself (the way he is said to have recut the original 1977 SW negative with his new additions on it, making any future "untouched" release impossible).
Attila the Professor said:I don't get why they'd call The Force Awakens (which I liked) or Jurassic World (which seemed fine) soft reboots when they could use terms everyone understands to call them what they are: remakes disguised as sequels.

Violet said:You do know that Stoo collected all the bookends and posted them up on Youtube right? Or have they been taken by Disney/Lucasfilm?
As for Indy's daughter- I say Mutt's wife who's comfortable enough to call him Dad. Alternatively could even be an adopted daughter or daughter of another wife. I don't personally think Willie though imo.
In any case, I doubt that Disney would acknowledge those scenes as canon as Lucasfilm had already previously dumped it from canon with Skull and with the VHS and DVD releases. The Young Indy series as it stands in current form is canon or at least Spring Break Adventure is.
So there still might be the slim chance of a daughter as there needs to be a viable female lead but I just don't think so considering how successful the son was (yes that was sarcasm though personally I don't hate Mutt).
As for killing them off? No- you want to have a big crescendo end for the series. That would leave a sour taste is people's mouths frankly

Skull didn't have a particularly good score (if compared to other Williams' works) and I hated TFA's.
I know that you're in the early stages of a new "Indiana Jones" movie. Can you give me a sense of where you are in the development process right now?
Just the early stages. David Koepp is our screenwriter and we're all talking, but there's really nothing down on paper yet.
What has you creatively excited about returning to that character?
Again, it's just the team. It's a wonderful team like we had on "Bourne." It's nice to have your friends that you've known. Look, I've known Harrison [Ford] and obviously Steven {Spielberg] and the whole group for 30 years now. So it's nice to have everybody back together as kind of a reunion.
Are you intrigued to see how Harrison rises to the challenge of reprising that role and the physicality of it at this stage of his career?
Listen, I watched him in "Star Wars [The Force Awakens]," and I don't think he's going to have any problem!
curmudgeon said:Marshall recently had an interview with Moviefone
Udvarnoky said:I mean, we're still 18 months away from when they're presumably going to start filming. Koepp claimed in the fall that he and Spielberg have had active story discussions and had settled on a McGuffin. Sounds like they're on track to me.
Also, until Koepp actually turns in a completed draft, it's not out of the question that Marshall would be out of the loop. Development is probably going to be strictly between Koepp and Spielberg for awhile.
Crystal Skull received script approval in December of 2006, and went before cameras in June 2007. If Marshall is saying "There's nothing on paper" twelve months from now, then I'd be worried, but until then it's early days.
Pale Horse said:Naysayer mod here. Time to update that release schedule. "Nothing on paper" WTF?!
Pale Horse said:It relevant due to the passing of the protagonists relationship with his now dead mistress.
Yeah, that's always something to consider when you cast people with advanced age. And she wasn't even that old. He is getting there, though.Pale Horse said:It relevant due to the passing of the protagonists relationship with his now dead mistress.
Z dweller said:Talking about advanced age, did you guys hear the Blade Runner 2049 rumor?
I just a posted a link in the relevant thread: apparently one of the replicants in the original movie is supposed to come back in the upcoming sequel, courtesy of digital de-ageing.
What if it's Deckard himself?
The question is relevant to this thread because, if Ford is willing to be digitally de-aged in BR 2049, what's to stop Disney from asking him to do the same in Indy 5 for at least part of the movie, say some flashback scenes?
Pure speculation of course, and based on no more than a silly internet rumor, but with so long to go before a script is even in the works, we might as well have some fun and discuss the possibility, right?
