I know where you got that line Stoo, ha.
GERRY-BABY! Yes, it's true, I got it from Gerry-baby on a Skype call shortly after the Lucasfilm purchase and used his analogy here right away because it was so perfect. That was 2 years ago (see:
this post),
before even knowing my buddy had secretly joined The Raven!

They should make a trilogy and shoot them all at the same time as they did with "Back to the Future" 2 & 3 and the "Lord of the Rings". Squeeze as much as they can from Harrison. Sooner the better, agree with that. Chop, chop
Star Wars, Bladerunner, and Raiders all came out in the same time anyways so it can happen again. That was one of my favourite periods in cinema and I can't believe it might repeat itself.
Wouldn't that be nuts if each of the 3 new entries came out in the same order as 1980-82? It would be like our early teen years all over again, except without braces and less hair!

But looking at what happened with the time to film the latest SW then I think you're right Stoo and they could squeeze another one with Harrison in.
Agreed, with the emphasis on "could" because I was pointing out scheduling
possibilities (rather than probabilities). It
could be done...but likely won't.

….they have repeated ad infinitum that Star Wars will be the barometer of their success following the purchase of Lucasfilm. Nothing will happen with the red-headed stepchild until the receipts on Episode VII are tallied.

I do not for see Disney making a final go head before they see how Star Wars does out of the gate. I kind of think that's what Iger was alluding to.
Why would "Star Wars" be used as a measuring stick when Ep. 7 is going to be a $ure-fire money-making $en$ation even if it stinks?
I don't see the connection because Indy & Star Wars are 2 different series.
Imagine the Disney board of execs saying, "If this new
Star Wars movie doesn't deliver big, there's no way in hell we're going to make
THX-1138.2 and
Even More American Graffiti!"
