Hollywood.com (http://www.hollywood.com/features/t1/nav/5/id/2439734/p/0/) caught up with Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4777) writer/director/executive producer George Lucas (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9387#) who talked about the future of the franchise but also his other upcoming projects, including Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665).

Lucas says that Steven Spielberg (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9387#) informed him that the script was done and he talked about the evolution of the script. "I came up with this idea doing Young Indy, which has got to be about seven or eight years ago, and we've been through a number of scripts--six or eight scripts. Six scripts, two rewrites. So it's been down the path."

Lucas added that Harrison "plays an older person in this" and that it is possible there will be a younger person but "not really to take over". He doesn't expect the younger person will be used to create new movies (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9387#) with. "No, it wasn't meant to be that way. But I guess that's a possibility. It's really to wrap it up. Just desperately trying to put things together that work. You need characters to make the film (http://www.comingsoon.net/news/topnews.php?id=9387#) work. It's not just an adventure story. There's actually got to be human relationships in it."

In a Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4777) interview with Time magazine, George Lucas (http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=9442#) also talks briefly about Indiana Jones 4 (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=4665).

"You know, I said three's fine. And then I came up with an idea I thought was brilliant, so I told the other guys [Steven Spielberg (http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=9442#) and Harrison Ford (http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=9442#)], and they kind of flipped out," Lucas said.

Speaking about the story, Lucas adds that is it "vaguely in the realm of the supernatural. We have to accept the fact that Indiana Jones (http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=9442#) is an older man. But it's been hell getting a script out of it."

Lucas says that Steven Spielberg "is committed to shooting it next year. I just got the latest script yesterday."
