Maybe Jedi was where the divide between the oot and the special editions and prequels began, because he finally became a father. When he made star wars and empire he was not a dad.
Has to be the reason why Crystal Skull feels too safe and Indy is never in any danger. Lucas became a softy when he aged and became a dad, he started changing his opinion on film violence and self censoring the same can be said of Spielberg who put the walkie talkies in E.T., much like Lucas had greedo shoot.
