My hope have been minimal for several months about future Indy stuff but it now feels final due to this news.

The Drifter said:...would Harrison even agree to do another Indy film if Disney wanted it? Would Steve even direct it? Hell, would George have a part in it at all?
Pfft. We've never broken any kind of copyright law that goes beyond the basic journalistic right of citation. Also, everything we do is completely non-profit, and will stay that way.Jackson said:With Disney controlling the rights to Indiana Jones now I hope this site is not in any danger due to copyright issues that Lucasfilm may have been more open about then disney will be. I hope not. Thoughts owner of theraidernet?

For me George Lucas is a guy who did things his way. Some paid off, some didn't. But he never lost my respect.
Raiders112390 said:I see a lot of whitewash going on here. Lucas has a near 20 year history of failure. Disney has a near 100 year history of success.
Attila the Professor said:That's a touch silly. You yourself mentioned the Disney dark ages of the 1970s and 1980s, when it was almost exclusively in the theme parks where anything of substance was produced. These things fluctuate.
And besides, a company is, in some respects, only as good as its recent decisions. So the question is: how are the Muppets, Marvel, and Pixar fairing?
Sakis said:Raiders112390 & I.M.J. Kingdom and the Star Wars prequels must have deeply scared you. Not that I'm very fond of them myself but what I see is the will to punish Lucas for making them. You accuse him for being stubborn when this stubborness almost gave him a heart attack while filming Star Wars back in 1977. You seem to forget that this stubborness was fueled by a vision he had and wanted to make it real. And he did. And his stubborness proved him right. And we all loved the result of this stubborness.
He wanted to make Raiders when no studio was willing to finance such a project but his stubbornness lead to a killer deal and gave Indy to the world. We all cherish the result of this stubborness and that's how we've come into this forum and contact each other. His stubborness lead him to make Doom dark, to make Young Indy this little artistic/educational series and not just another TV rip off. George Lucas himself said on the set of Revenge of the Sith that everybody would love the new trilogy to begin from that point but he choose not to do so. Of course he made mistakes along the way, nobody can deny that.
So, accusing him for being stubborn is like accusing him for being who he is and for what he has offered. I'm not saying that I will take in anything he serves my way without question but I don't have to go against him. I'm saying all this because many guys cheered in the news of this aquisition not only because new films will be made but because they will not be made by Lucas. Come on guys, have a heart.
