George Lucas said:I have to get it approved by Steven and Harrison. I'll only say this, the last time it took 14 years to get it approved, so again, it's not something that everybody's crazy to get out and do. I mean, nobody needs the money, you know the chances are that it will be not well accepted much more than it will be accepted, so there's not a lot of impetus to do it.
What's with Lucas and his recent Spiel of being depressed, unloved, studio execs not coming to his screenings, his oeuvre being rejected, him turning his back on everything for exile on Tatooine, even stating that he doesn't care what the audience thinks , and now saying that Indy content would require 'approval' by Spielberg and Harrison after both went on record to say they were not convinced by the last script, but they would not interfere or object to Lucas' scripts!
Lucas is one of the most independently wealthy movie producers on this planet, with an army of Yavas on his ranch ready to make production means with only few limitations available to him. Frankly, after too many not very good movies over the past decade, do we know have to content with too many not very good attitude statements by him...

This is exactly what I was imagining yesterday: Shia LaBeouf et. al. "Indiana Jones and the Fountain of Youth" (2016). Sounds like a great fan service script at first. Old school references. 35th anniversary tie-ins everywhere. But then, half-way through the movie, we are told that the Cuba-of-1962-based Fountain of Youth is in fact a breeding ground for midi-chlorians, as discovered by Dr Mutt Williams-Jones, a graduate microbiologist and fresh home from an internship at the science eventuality programme at InGen (est. 1961). He has to inject these midi-chlorians into Indy or whoever for some unnecessary reason that is irrelevant for advancing the plotline, but hey, thus we see the foundation laid for Force-sensitive beings of the future, in the same galaxy not that far away after all. Indy's son created the Jedis. The Lucasverse is whole and one again. etc. etc.
