I agree with your premise above, but not with your conclusion.AndyLGR said:I alluded to this in an earlier post and this sums it up perfectly. Its exactly why I feel Indy 5 will be straight out of the book of the original films, (in particular Raiders and TLC), something that takes you back in to that style of movie.

I feel confident (purely based on what Disney did with TFA) that they know exactly what they need to do to get the Indy films back on track.
The ONLY way to really go back to the roots of the series is to place at least part of the story in the 1920s or 30s through flashbacks played by a younger actor.
Using Ford alone for the entire movie is simply not going to work with the younger fans, like Finn said, and would actually move the franchise further away from its roots due to the limitations imposed by Harry's age, coupled with the "wrong" time period.
Why should Disney risk such an approach, when they can just replicate TFA's success by using the original star's pulling power AND the raw energy of a (hopefully brilliant) new, younger star?
