Star Wars should not have any strong female characters. MAGA!

Z dweller said:Yep, it's official now.
I think it's safe to assume that:
1) Kasdan is doing a full re-write.
2) Disney have moved away from the idea of Ford leading the entire movie in favor of parallel stories, with a younger actor playing Indy in flashback scenes and Ford in the 60s.
Z dweller said:So, let's recap.
March 15, 2016: Indy 5 first announced on with a July 19, 2019 release date.
April 25, 2017: pushed back to to July 20, 2020.
July 10, 2018: pushed back to July 9, 2021.
Ford turns 76 on Friday.
There isn't a snowball chance in hell Disney lets him star for the whole movie now.
Nah, they won't kill him off.Raiders112390 said:What do you think of my "Big Fish" Indy idea? Indy is in his late 60s, dying, and he tells a son or grandson about this amazing adventure he had in the 20s (cut to new actor)...And then in a relatively short sequence Indy and son/grandson finish the adventure together but Indy dies, and passes on his hat. Think Disney will go that route or some variation?
Z dweller said:Nah, they won't kill him off.
They may well just use Ford to bookend a main story set in the past, though.
Get real.Raiders112390 said:Killing him off kills any hope of Ford reprising the role again in any form, which for Disney is a good thing.

Ford + Hamill + Fisher was the main reason why TFA performed so well.Face_Palm said:Ford is a huge sell.

I suspect that Disney, in their post-TFA hubris, were looking to replicate the same formula for Indy 5 - hence the march 2016 announcement.
But it looks like they changed their mind now.
If Ford were enough of a pull on his own, BR2049 would not have bombed...Face_Palm said:Ok then look at TLJ compared to TFA, still a huge drop when they removed Ford.
