In an interview with Sci Fi Wire, George Lucas says preliminary research has begun on the storyline for a possible “Indiana Jones 5”.
“It sits on the shelf there as one of 50 projects that I have to deal with,” Lucas said in an interview on Aug. 4 at his Big Rock Ranch in San Rafael, Calif., where he was promoting the upcoming computer-animated feature film ‘‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars”. “And if I can come up with a story …”

They hear about the fact it is no longer a republic and now it’s an empire, but they are from a world where none of that really means too much to them.”
