George Lucas lost his mind long ago

No it doesn't. It's not as concise nor is it as catchy. It's a mouthful. And the Crystal Skull would have been easier. It would have fit the scheme.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Either way, the horror of the the saucer men from mars thing is the CONTENT, not the title.

There are rumours that some of that alien stuff is in the flick still.

Also, before you say anything about Raiders of the Lost Ark being a mouthful, it's almost never called that. It's usually "raiders". I don't think you can shorten this to "kingdom" though.

Lucas screwed with that one a few years back as well.

On the newer box sets he renamed it: Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

LucasFilm officially changed it to "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark" years ago, for continuity.

FWIW, I'm not expecting much from Crystal Skull. I know it won't be as good as Raiders and probably not as entertaining as Last Crusade.

I just hope it's better than Temple. That movie didn't appeal to me at all.

Lucas was going through a terrible divorce at the time (hence, the "heart" being ripped out of the characters) but MAN, was that movie bad or what?

You think so???...to me Last Crusade was the "Return of the Jedi" of that series, it wont be too hard to top IMO.

If that was Return of the Jedi, then Temple of Doom was The Phantom Menace: director's cut.

I'm guessing KotCS comes in 3rd out of 4.

And I loved Phantom Menace. It's right behind Empire & the original for me.

Thats what i'm guessing, but hoping its more like #2 in line.

Dane, i dunno...it just seems like that dark & dangerous vibe is missing from Crusade, hopefully those guys have their finger on the new pulse...darker & edgier is better. The best stuff in Crusade to me is that they actually shot in the stone city of Petra.

Nonetheless, like GoChiefs sig...its nice to feel 12 years old again, look at all of us old men jawing about it like kids .

Really? I hated Return - I think it was the worst of the 6 movies but I thoroughly enjoyed Crusade. I liked River as young Indy and Connery as Senior. Even though I own the box set, I can't turn off Crusade anytime it's on broadcast television.

I can't change the channel quick enough when "Temple" is on and "Return" (at least to me) is worthless outside of the Vader/Emperor/Luke scenes which again (IMO) there aren't nearly enough.

You thought Return of the Jedi was the worst of ALL the Star Wars movies - original and new?

There's no way it could be as bad as 1 or 2.
