fisher script doctored phantom menace, it was hales that did clones, and lucas wrote revenge by himself and look at the horrible results i've seen grade school kids who can write better. and kasden was one of the best screenwriters in the history of hollywood. not his fault he tried to work on a project where he had no input, a cheapy horror movie based on steven king, ugh! by the way some of the young indy episodes were nominated for emmys, how is that horrid writing. I want yound indy on dvd. agreed most of the work by hales is tird worthy, and they did'nt even bother to use john williams on the series but joel mcneely. False advertising on lucasfilms part for using clips from the indy films and the williams music to advertise the series, the networks thought they were getting indiana jones for t.v. . What they got was an odd paring of historical stuff and educational, with indiana jones on it. Lucas ideas stemmed from his lucas learning cd rom projects, in fact yound indy will probablbly be on blue ray as an educational series for schools, lucas said they were filming a hundred historical documentries to be included. Young indy certainly was not a rip roaring series of action adventure movies, it is a mixed bag just like the prequels but better than the prequels. Can't believe he did'nt just do indy 4 and star wars episodes 7-9 much more intersting stories, but the george lucas of today is not the same man from before he divorced marcia lucas. and most people are glad he did not do these movies because they wuld be a tirdfest just like the prequels, most of return of the jedi and the special editions. Look at the first indy movie and star wars and empire strikes back and imagine what would've been if he did'nt change creatively and kept kurtz as a producer. And actually cared about the saga and not used it just to make money, milking this cash cow dry loking like an moron who got extremely lucky once or twice who is technically brilliant but lacks soul and creativity. He himself has actually ackkowkedged that he is more of a documentary cinema verite guy than storyteller. And after the fact you have to admit that the reviewers of thx were right he's just a techobrat, like coppola said he was.
