Yes, putting The Last Jedi, a solid contender for the Star Wars film with the most stunning visuals and compelling ideas, next to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, a film whose best ideas and visuals run out roughly when we cut away from the mushroom cloud, makes Crystal Skull look like...well, maybe another misunderstood masterpiece? If you're feeling generous?
Oh, the visuals were stunning. The story was terrible however. And no I am not upset about how they treated Luke or anything like that. To me the problems lie in the inconsistencies in the story. For instance, the resistance can't use their hyperdrive. Fair enough. But suddenly the first order forgets that they have hyperdrives that they can use?
And many more examples like that, but let's not get into that over here.
I am much more interested in this story you quoted :

Anyway, here's
another article that at predation-as-romance in movies entirely through the work of Harrison Ford. Yes, Indy's mentioned.
What a completely horrible article.
I mean yes, Deckard is a bastard. Not a nice guy. He is not a lovable rogue. But he is supposed to be a bastard. The scene in Blade runner is supposed to be disturbing. That is its function.
The author of the article seems unable to understand that Ford has played several roles.
Deckard is not Indy and Indy is not Solo.
They are all played by the same guy, but they are different characters.
And the other examples he uses are so far fetched.
I mean we all know that Willie and Indy are playing around at the end of Temple.
The thing that is troubling me is that people are writing articles like these. I keep wondering what their agenda is in this?
