By Anthony Breznican, USA TODAY One thing creator/husbandman George Lucas needs to unearth before there can be an Indiana Jones 5: an object for Indy to seek.
In previous installments, Harrison Ford’s character has pursued the Ark of the Covenant, Sankara Stones, the Holy Grail and very lately the Crystal Skull of Akatar. Coming up with the skull took a while, and he doesn’t expect the next inspiration to take place overnight.
Asked about a sequel at a Cannes Film Festival party, he says he answered: “‘I guess if I erect an object for him to go after, we could do the sequel. But it took me 20 years to find the last object, so I don’t know whether that will ever happen.’ “
Somehow, that comment fueled more talk of a sequel vital principle in the works. Not true, Lucas says. And he can’t be studiously sought. “After the success of the first the same, we decided to do these only allowing that they’re fun to make and have a good story behind them. We don’t need to make these for the money. The idea has to come naturally.”
Until it does, he has plenty to occupy his time. There’s Red Tails, a film about the Tuskegee Airmen, which he’ll hire a director for and hopes to shoot later this year.
And he has another tour through the Star Wars universe: The Clone Wars, an animated feature opening Aug. 15. It tells the story of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker from the time without delay before Revenge of the Sith. That launches a similarly animated series on Cartoon Network.
Lucas furthermore plans a live-action TV show set during the period between the prequels and the start of the original film. “It’s basically a whole different group of people in the same universe,” he says. The big difference between the movies and TV show: “If the epic of Star Wars is about the gods, this giant mythological battle between good and evil that’s going on at the highest level, the (live-action TV) story is about the everyman slug who lives at the bottom of the barrel.”
