Lucas quotes on Indy V:

“If I can come up with another idea that they like, we’ll do another. Really, with the last one, Steven wasn’t that enthusiastic. I was trying to persuade him. But now Steve is more amenable to doing another one. Yet we still have the issues about the direction we’d like to take. I’m in the future; Steven’s in the past. He’s trying to drag it back to the way they were, I’m trying to push it to a whole different place. So, still we have a sort of tension. This recent one came out of that. It’s kind of a hybrid of our own two ideas, so we’ll see where we are able to take the next one.”

"Indiana Jones only becomes complicated when you have another two people saying ‘I want it this way’ and ‘I want it that way’, whereas, when I first did Jones, I just said, ‘We’ll do it this way’ — and that was much easier. But now I have to accommodate everybody, because they are all big, successful guys, too, so it’s a little hard on a practical level."

focus on this part "I’m in the future; Steven’s in the past. He’s trying to drag it back to the way they were, I’m trying to push it to a whole different place"

Now think of those horrid cgi pieces and bad storytelling in IV and they are all Lucas because he is in the future, LOL.

If he had his way the whole thing would have been done in a computer and be absolute crap like episode 1-3.

I don't envy spielberg one little bit he had a backseat director the whole time on Indiana Jones IV. He tried steering the film closer to raiders and last crusade and lucas wanted a prequel-ized version of Indy.

He was not fortunate to have lucas muddy his film and ruin it.

Lucas should have directed it so he could take all the blame.

Nobody but lucas could have destroyed 2 beloved franchises in 9 years time. instead of killing two birds with one stone.
