Don't worry, pal. Those dusty quotes are from the opening of KOTCS! SS and HF truly hadn't heard Lucas' swell idea of making Shia the star and Harrison his support. When they found out, Lucas changed his tune, and I mean FAST.
I'm pretty sure Harrison will fight to the death for his TRUE baby...the character of Indiana Jones.
And I think if Lucas pushed Indy into a side role for "Mutt" Williams to be the lead character in an "Indiana Jones" moview, he would alienate most of his remaining fans, at least most of the Indy fan-base.
It would be a horrible idea. I hope Mutt doesn't return in the next film, he's the weakest side kick of the series and his character--a rip off Marlon Brando greaser--is cheesy. I mean he has to spout off generic '50s speech like, "Smog in the Noggin", ''Daddy-o!", "Off his rocker", "God's head doesn't look like that, man!", "Don't give these pigs a thing."
and it's not like Mutt is even tough I mean he got his butt kicked by Spalko at 19 years old whereas Indy at 58 was able to beat up Dovenchenko. When Indy was 19 he was fighting the undead and acting as a spy and able to murder guys in cold blood already. Mutt's the same age as Indy was in Masks of Evil and seems to only care about his bike and combing his hair every 5 minutes.
I mean even though people criticize "Young Indy", the kid was tough by Mutt's age and wasn't a fop. In fact in Adventures of the Secret Service he says he doesn't like and is greatly annoyed by frivolous people--I'd call someone who while kidnapped complains only about their motorcycle being left behind and combing his hair a frivolous person.
