I don't see that Aliens will fit into the story at all. I hope this isn't true.

It is probably absolutely nowhere near my little prediction. But even if it was spot on, it wouldn't really be anti-religious as much as it would be rationalizing the superstition of the other films. I am sure plenty of people would see it as anti-religious, which would make sense of the Lucas quotes I added to my post. I certainly don't think it would ever go as far as to spell out what I wrote in my post, even if that was the direction I went down.

The evidence for the alien aspect of it is overwhelming. We have the words of one of the producers, we have the picture of the crystal skull itself, and now we have the Roswell thing. The only thing I really meant to speculate on this is that I am expecting that they will use the alien plot, which I think is probably George's MacGuffin that "was a little too ‘connected’ for the others", to rationalize the supernatural stuff from the other three films. Thus the supernatural artifacts from the past end up having something to do with aliens. I don't think this will be the main focus of the film, just an underlying plotline.

It would be interesting if through some strange turn of events the aliens will make a clone of Indy, or some how aquire Indy's baby or a woman impreginated by Indy, and through time travel take him back to a time long ago in their own galaxy, which is rather far away and raise him under a different name. Then they could make another series of movies about him when he grows up. He could save the galaxy and stuff. Hmm, maybe he could even have one of the aliens be his partner, kind of like Tonto and the Lone Ranger. Instead of the Lone Ranger, maybe he could be called the Solo Ranger or something to that effect. Perhaps somewhere along the way he could fall in love with a princess. I don't know about you guys, but I'd be buying my tickets opening week.
