As a child of the 70s, this movie brought me back to all the early extended universe stuff I enjoyed as a kid – from the old ‘Droids’ cartoon to the Marvel comic book series (and yes, even The Ewok Adventure and The Star Wars Holiday Special).

It’s tough to tell why there hasn’t been much buzz for the latest offering from Team Lucas. Whatever the case, that lack of excitement actually matches the tone of the film near-perfectly.

It appears the rumors of Shia LaBeouf taking over as the lead in the Indiana Jones saga were exaggerated. So says George Lucas.

Film School Rejects went to Lucasfilm and LucasArts recently, and you can bet we brought our camera. Check out the good in our massive gallery.

The Star Wars creator has lots to say about a new Indiana Jones film, the upcoming Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and how he’s not to be confused with Britney Spears.

The producer and director of Stars Wars: The Clone Wars got access to George Lucas’s personal character files and went wild, creating a whole new universe with some familiar faces.

Which is faster, the Millennium Falcon or the U.S.S Enterprise? This photo captures Lucas and Abrams ending the debate.

Here’s where I defend Lucas. He’s doing what he wants to do. Period. He can self-finance a $200 million movie and not bat an eye. He is the true embodiment of the independent filmmaker.

I have officially found the least expensive Star Wars collectibles of all time. Over at Heffernan’s Little Craft Shop you can purchase soap molded in the shape of some of your favorite Star Wars characters. I don’t think that the Heffernans are big Star Wars fans themselves though, because who the hell is Dark Vader?

Everyone is going nuts for Indiana Jones and it is well on its way to earning huge bucks at the box office this weekend… except me. I wasn’t sold on this trip down memory lane, and here’s my evidence that this just wasn’t an Indiana Jones movie.

The Universal Day of the Jedi is this Sunday, May 25. Officially started last year on the 30th anniversary of the release of A New Hope, The Universal Day of the Jedi is a celebration of everything Star Wars, from the original movies to the general fandom surrounding the series.

Hollywood’s not known for restraint. They like big budgets, big paydays and like to eat a species of shrimp even larger than Jumbo. But finally, someone is showing some backbone by not rehashing an old franchise for the easy money.

Since we all know that you ran out and saw Indy at a midnight show, we want to know what you thought. This is your chance to give us your review and vote in our exclusive poll!

Here is a look into our dark future. These are actors that would be terrible as Indiana Jones, but you know that someone somewhere is going to seriously suggest them to inherit the Fedora…

Spielberg, Lucas, Ford and the rest of the Indiana Jones crew are back for another round. And while we can never expect this one to live up to the legend that is the original trilogy, we should still be able to find an entertaining summer flick, right?

This appears to be a case where all involved had a blast getting back together for a fourth film after what appeared to be a concluded trilogy, but forgot to make a good movie.

he future of Indiana Jones adventures is unknown. Many have speculated (and George Lucas has said aloud) that we may see some adventures with Mutt. But what if they decided to recast Indiana Jones? Who could take over the fedora?

If you’ve ever watched an Indiana Jones movie then, like me, you probably got the sudden urge to swing on a whip, wear a leather jacket, and put on a fedora. Well, the good news is that Indy is about to burst back on the scene as cool as ever and hats are on their way back. I think it’s time to make the transformation complete.

Forget War of the Worlds—when Spielberg wants to be, he’s a master storyteller in that grand Hollywood tradition of efficient, effective populism.

I like to keep my RAGE and Boiling Points related to relatively current trends and there is nothing more current this week at FSR than Indiana Jones. But how can I rage against one of my favorite film series of all time?
