Welcome to looking at Lucasfilm, the podcast with a different perspective on the world of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and all of the other entities that George Lucas, Kathleen Kennedy, and the rest of the team at Lucasfilm have dreamed up over the past 40 years.

I'm Entertainment Writer Jim Hill and my co-host, the one the only, Dan Z, and I are recording this on Tuesday, March 3rd, super Tuesday.

A lot of news is broken Dan since we last recorded a new podcast.

In fact, we were just pre-G a moment ago, and you were saying you're still kind of

bummed about what happened with Stephen Spielberg.

Oh, I'm really bummed about it.

I'm not going to say I'm depressed because I you know it's not like I know

or have any vested interest financially but Indiana Jones is my favorite franchise and we're

already we're looking at a new Indiana Jones without George Lucas and now to not have it without

Spielberg who was you know the other co-creator of this thing that just that just gives me a bad

feeling that this thing is not going to get made?

Well, kind of interesting.

For those of you who missed this announcement, it was what?

Back on February 24th, I want to say, the Monday.

First, we learned that Stephen Spielberg was stepping away from directing

Indiana Jones 5.

And then pretty much in that, on that same day we learned that James Mangold he's the

the gentleman under directed Ferrari versus Ford which was up for a lot of Academy Awards this past year.

But more importantly, Logan from 2017, he's going to pick up the reins at Indy5, which by the way Dan,

he was working the phones, people at Disney are still insisting this thing is coming out

July 9th 2021.

That's good.
