Some fans have speculated that Indy 4 might somehow overlap with American Graffiti (set in 1962), bringing Lucas's career full circle. But the characters would be too young, and on the wrong coast. Only Curt (Richard Dreyfuss) flies east to college. The others die or go nowhere. Harrison Ford was 30 when he played Bob Falfa, and appears in More American Graffiti as an SFPD motorcycle cop. He doesn't seem the type to leave Modesto, except maybe for the Korean War.
I suspect Lucas has considered this too. In the Saucer Men script, the CIA guy is Bob Bolander... possibly related to Ron Howard's character, Steve Bolander?
