This rumor is all over the web, and it doesn't hurt at all that it's attached to Star Wars. So, the first inevitable thing will be the question will be asked of Harrison, Speilberg, or a Disney representative as soon as there is a chance to do so. The next inevitable thing to happen will be an either flat out denial, or some wishy washy response that neither confirms or denies it. Even if someone says it's all completely true, it doesn't mean Indy 5 will ever materialize. I won't get excited until someone says there is a finished script. Though I will say that if Ford DID break balls over Indy 5 and used SW as his bargaining chip, it's a shrewd move on his behalf. The Ford I would like to believe in is that guy.

Wait, it's official? Why can't I see a news article on it, then?

So, what EXACTLY is the deal here? How much control over the IJ property does George Lucas still retain? No speculation, does anybody know specifically what his stranglehold on this franchise (that he sold) actually is? I mean, besides that vague little snippet that we heard (that wasn't even a direct quote) about him keeping some kind of caveat for Indy 5 in the disney deal.

If the rumors are to be believed, then it's very cool to know that Ford is using whatever stroke he has to try to make Indy5 happen, but let's not get silly and try to ascribe altruistic intentions here. Ford would get a king's ransom for another Indy film.

All I can offer is speculation, but what I speculate is that from a legal standpoint George has zero control over the actual property. But that hardly means Disney wouldn't want him to satisfy his usual role. It's not something I expect us to ever get a whole lot of clarity about.

Well, are we still waiting for George Lucas to come up with a story (as all the legitimate quotes from Harrison and Steven have indicated), or are we waiting for the people at Disney to do it? Framed like that, it sounds like this is mostly rumor, unless George really wants him back in SW, and he is using this to light a fire under his butt. Which is possible, but not probable, IMHO. Extorting George to do something that he doesn't seem interested in goes against the professional and personal relationship they share with Indy, not to mention that I wouldn't expect it to work. Anyway, unless we find out what GL's powers are with Indy 5, I'd have to say that given the info we have, this rumor doesn't carry much weight at all.

We'll know in the next few months if Disney will find a place for Star Wars 7 between Marvel phases 2 and 3, or if it will happen in 2015 at all. Pirates 5 won't. (Then there are all these other studios who have the nerve to schedule summer movies.) Official Indy 5 news could be a long way off, but if the rumors are true (and they're the solidest rumors I've seen on the matter) then the Indy 5 spitballing will continue, which is good. If Lucas is a factor in the Indy plot he's definitely a factor in the Star Wars plot, which eventually has to congeal whether he likes it or not. Maybe he'll find relinquishing power therapeutic, to the extent he has any.

LOS ANGELES?Saying that ?it?s time,? a visibly weary Harrison Ford pleaded with his agents Thursday to simply stop this and let him die, "I've given up it over". sources confirmed. ?Please, you?ve had your fill. Just let me go quietly into the night,? the 71-year-old Ender?s Game star reportedly said, later imploring his agents not to hand him any more scripts and to just ?let [him] go to sleep forever.? ?I?ve spent my entire life doing this for you people. We had a good run, but it?s been a long journey and I?m very tired now. Please don?t talk about any more projects or how the director will work around my schedule. And don?t try to convince me that this is how I get my Oscar. It?s over. I just want to close my eyes and never wake up.? Reports confirm that Ford?s agents then mentioned a new script set during the Cold War in which he?d play Robert McNamara, which prompted Ford to sigh, shake his head no more..
its over no more indy or star wars or films from Harrison, this is terrible not sure i want to live in a world without harrison around anymore.

You're acting a bit Kathy Bates from The Shining, buddy boy. As people have stated it's from The Onion, a website who's bread and butter is satire. I know you're a fan of Ford, but that sentence - wow.
