Some concerning words have sprouted online from Indy writer/producer George Lucas. In an interview Lucas expressed concern that Indiana Jones fans may have built up unrealistic expectations for his upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."When you do a movie like this, a sequel that's very, very anticipated, people anticipate ultimately that it's going to be the Second Coming," Lucas told USA Today. "And it's not. It's just a movie. Just like the other movies. You probably have fond memories of the other movies. But if you went back and looked at them, they might not hold up the same way your memory holds up." In fact, he added, when expectations rise to such heights, "You're not going to get a lot of accolades. ... All you can do is lose."
Don't get too worried, I'm pretty sure Lucas is just saying this in
the wake of what happened with Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, everyone was BEYOND stoked for its 1999 release and there was so much hype behind it. But when it finally came to theaters most people weren't happy and expected more. Lucas just doesn't want the same thing to happen to loyal Indy fans.

yeah but episode was SUPPOSED TO BE the second coming....of STAR WARS! thats why it was so anticipated. this movie, sure its anticipated but no one expects it to ressurect the series, we all know harrison ford is too old and we should be lucky we got this one before its too late. i have more faith in spielberg over lucas anyways.
I do have high hopes for this film. I am, by no means, condoning Lucas' lack of faith in Indy 4.
Does Lucas have a neck?
