: Entertainment Weekly has a cover story on Star Wars this week that
: mentions Episode II. They say Lucas is scheduled to begin shooting
: it in June of 2000. So, aside from writing the script, he should be
: available to help out on Indy 4 until then. This does make for a tight
: schedule, but then, they shouldn't have waited so long to make another
: Indy now should they!
Spielberg will be directing it, so Lucas won't be involved as much. They were heavy into production design and everything in 1981 for Return of the Jedi, and they were filming Raiders in 1980. Lucas is used to tight schedules. Plus, he's very cost efficient and would never let shooting go out of hand. It'll happen. My newspaper said so.
