the relationship between marion and indy is what broke up the jones/ravenwood student/mentor relationship. then ravenwood died leaving marion alone in forsaken back of beyond at a very young age. she was left trying to find her own way back to the states. it did not go easily, and the cut off of all communication between ravenwood and jones made it worse. there are a few relationships that are very oddly aged… loretta lynn, celene dion, bo derek, jerry lee lewis. at least in dion’s case her husband waited until she was legal. ---

> [@acsenray](#): > > Paedophilia is sexual attraction to prepubescent children. If she’s gone through puberty, it’s not paedophilia. There are a few exceptions, but I’m pretty sure most 10-11 year old girls are prepubescent. And as hard a boundary as you seem to want to make this, it’s still incredibly skeevy for 12 year olds who may just be entering puberty. ---

To be fair, Marion was probably a _hawt_ 10 year old. ---

No doubt. Even when I raise my Attribute, Marion is impressive. ---

Am I the only one trying to read “amusing” as a sort of joke, and not so much him wanting this to be a real relationship? I get the sense that maybe Lucas was going for a weird discrepancy that few people in the audience would notice, but if they did, it’d be a strange thing. That he would think this amusing (and not a relationship with an 11-year-old) seems a bit more consistent with Lucas’s style. Spielberg’s comment seems almost in line with that, but also seems to be intentionally over-the-top to reel him in on it.
