I was a little disappointed too, not at the length of the article- although I was surprised that it wasn't longer- but at myself for already knowing so much about these films. Fvck. I just hope they find some stuff to put on the DVD's that Indyfans haven't seen/don't know about. That sounds crazy, but I really did get a little bummed that I already knew all the stuff in there.

It was cool to see that they'd given some thought to what should be on the DVD, hopefully Lucas/Paramount will take it to heart. It will really suck if they release Raiders as just another Paramount "Widescreen Edition" title- will only a trailer and single featurette as extras.

It was also nice to see them include a pretty good collection of official Indy stuff. Although, it is sad that you can fit nearly everything Indy into 20 pages, while filling up the rest of the mag with a fraction of a single Star Wars film.

Overall though, I really enjoyed it. It ain't often you get to see Indy on a magazine cover these days (even if it is the back cover).

PS. I nearly missed out on the issue, as I forgot that it was a flip-cover. I saw Anakin on the cover, then started to walk by it. It wasn't until I thought about seeing what was on the cd-rom that I noticed the back.
