In Reply to: Austin, who's fault is it that there's less Indy Fans than Star Wars fans? posted by Jay on June 09, 2001 at 13:49:18:
There's no accounting for taste, but I think the point is that Indy has NEVER been marketed in the same way that Star Wars has been. Not that it's a bad thing, but at no time has the public ever been deluged with Indiana Jones in the same way that they have been with Star Wars. I think the primary reason for this is that Lucas has always considered SW to be for kids, hence the massive merchandising for youths.
