Suggestion for Indiana Jones 5

Since the most recent movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, did well at the box office on opening weekend, I'll assume there is talk about continuing the saga. George Lucas has already issued a statement that he has an idea to continue the series with the newest character, Mutt Williams. I would like to avoid that, so I have a suggestion.

Is anyone a fan of the ABC television series, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles? If not, that show centered around Indy during his early days and the era between River Phoenix from The Last Crusade and Harrison Ford's classic character. I would like to see a prequel with Sean Patrick Flanery as Indiana Jones. Perhaps the story could focus upon Indy and his relationship with Abner and Marion Ravenwood.

Any thoughts?

1) I like that idea. I have not seen the new Indy movie (yet) so, I do not know who Mutt Williams is, but I think focusing on young Indiana would be a better idea. I always wondered what happened between Indy and Marion that she was so mad at him in "Raiders". And what happened between them that she was not in any other Indiana movies or even mentioned? Questions I think true fans want answered.

2) Mutt Williams didn't "fit" as the child of these two. I think you have a good idea.

3) I was expecting the movie to be horrible, but in honesty, it was quite entertaining. There were three or four scenes that 'jumped the shark' so to speak, but I think the same could be said of the originals. I really enjoyed the movie overall. The time period it was set in was awesome, and I think portrayed exactly how you'd expect (although I'm sure it was glamorized to the extreme).

I won't get into the specifics of which scenes were totally hokey or which ones I loved, 'cause I don't want to give away too much. Maybe in a couple weeks.

Oh and I think your idea is interesting. It would be depressing to have another Indie without Ford for sure, but maybe they can pull it off. Too bad by "they" I mean "Lucas," which basically means it's not likely.

5) What about prequels with Sean Connery's character, Henry Jones, Sr.? Could be interesting although he didn't seem as much the daredevil type as his son.
