but, but, but, no Poppa Jones Sean Connery is quoted as saying > [@](#): > > . . . retirement is just too damned much fun. I, do however, have one bit of advice for Junior: Demand that the critters be digital, the cliffs be low, and for goodness sake keep that whip by your side at all times in case you need to escape from the stunt coordinator! ---

Since the last Indy thread, they’ve added John Hurt, Jim Broadbent, and Ray Winstone to the cast (joining Cate & Shia). I doubt Sean’s role would’ve been more than a glorified cameo, so it probably doesn’t affect the film profoundly. ---

Where’s the eyepatch? Will Indy lose the eye in the movie? Or is that stuff from the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles not canon? ---

^^^My understanding is that the stuff with the Old Indy is soon going to be “gone.” From what I’ve read, Lucas is going to re-edit all the “Young Indy” episodes for DVD release (in 2008, to coincide with the “Indy IV” release) and every single “Bookend” segment, EXCEPT the bookend that Harrison Ford did for “Young Indiana Jones and The Mystery of The Blues” will hit the cutting room floor.

[QUOTE=John DiFool] Where’s the eyepatch? Will Indy lose the eye in the movie? Or is that stuff from the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles not canon? [/QUOTE] They pulled the old Indy a long time ago. I have some DVDs of the original shows with old Indy, when they released them on VHS they had already removed him and put two shows together to make a longer show. I believe that’s the way they are going when they release the shows on DVD. Some of the old Indy stuff was pretty good. I’ve always thought of the young Indy stuff as canon, don’t know what others think. ---

This is one case where I’m all for Lucas changing the past – the Old Indy segments were awful, awful, awful. The actor they got to play him was so completely wrong for the part that it wasn’t even funny. They should have found some tough, grizzled old codger who looked like he could still kick your ass. Instead they got some skinny, frail-looking guy who looked and acted nothing like anyone (other than George Lucas I guess) imagined Old Indy would look. I’m all for pretending those segments never existed. Heck, I wouldn’t be too upset if they retconned the entire Young Indy series out of existence. It wasn’t a bad show, but it seemed like it was set in a whole different universe from the films. ---
