Well there has been good Indiana Jones and Star Wars after 1989 just not by Lucas.

The worst parts of Indiana Jones IV were his invention. I know had Spielberg been allowed to make a good film he would have. Instead he was stuck with a temple of bad scripts and a backseat director.

There are genuine Indiana Jones scenes in that film , but they are few and far between, and i give the success of such scenes to Spielberg, not Lucas who thinks kiddy jokes are so great like nuked fridges and prairie dogs, not to mention jar jar stepping in shit. Or alien saucers.

The whole thing was just like a bad fanfiction.

After reading all the previous scripts and how awful they were Koepp should be commended for making the movie work on any level at all.

Seeing Jim Henson behind the scenes does not ruin my childhood, but i was devastated when he died being a huge Muppets fan and dark crystal fan. To me he was Kermit the Frog, there is no Kermit without his voice.
