I just thought it would be interesting if I presented this ?what if??.

What if George Lucas directed Indiana Jones and The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull?

Rant about what you think he would have done etc?

For me I think he would have done the entire thing behind a blue screen like Star Wars Episode III. He would have also plugged in Star Wars a million times?

Anyways what do you all think

Judging by the reaction of some people, KotCS by Spielberg was already such a serious piece of baloney that if Lucas had been allowed to direct... I dunno. Suppose the universe would have collapsed due to singularity paradox caused by something so bad that shouldn't exist in the plane of existence that follows the major laws of logics.

It would've been faster and more intense. I think it might have benefited with a little more intensity.

Much much MUCH more CGI and stilted dialogue that's for sure.

I would sell anything Indy related I owned and give myself a lobotomy with a rusty machete.

Hmm... would Spielberg still be involved, like as a producer or something...? Would it be the same script?

Instead of the spaceship at the end we would have had the Millenium Falcon?

Seriously I think the movie would be only slightly different...no better no worse.

I think that Lucas would have a much more bigger hand in writing the script...he would most likely write the entire thing.

and I totally agree that the dialogue would suck

In that case I think Lucas would've done Indy4 in the 90's instead of the SW prequels, and the script would have probably been a lot like the 'Saucer Men' script. Yeah, the dialog would probably suck and Lucas would try to use CG as much as possible, but I actually think it could have been decent... And, despite the fact that I thought 'Saucer Men' was awful the first time I read it, I kinda wish that was the way events transpired. Its hard to say if people would have hated the CG as much as they do today, for one, the SW prequels wouldn't have been made yet...

It'd be the same movie but with more rubbery digital stunt doubles jumping around and little or no location work.

Actually, according to Lucas it was Spielberg's idea to keep it all stateside. It added to the budget but Spielberg wanted to be with his family throughout the whole production. (Of course, considering all he did during Indy4's production was show his face on the set every now and then, it's hard to know what his attitude would have been if he was the one behind the camera.)

People would have had something REALLY to complain about when it came to the CGI.

I hate talking about Lucas this way, but Spielberg saved KOTCS for me.

How awesome. Another thread devoted to slandering the co-creator of Indiana Jones. Why didn't the author just call this one why do you hate George Lucas?

I DO NOT HATE LUCAS

I owe him my left nut for creating my childhood and my imagination. If it wasn't for star wars and Indiana Jones I would be watching BET and listening to Fifty Cent...

I just think that Lucas is an egomaniac and would try to make a buck out of his Sh*t and somehow incorporate R2-D2 and C-3PO



but I love the guy all the way to his giant second chin and his flannel shirts...

but I hate it when he calls the best weapon invention (lightsaber) laser sword

I'm sorry I shouldn't have even replied to this forum. I was just curious to what people where saying and I should have know it was just a "George Lucas is a terrible filmmaker" thread. I should have just replied with my opinion or not at all. My apologizes. I shouldn't have said that you hate George Lucas because you clearly don't. It just gets disheartening when you come to Indiana Jones fansites and it's just mostly negative.
