Just as Lucas bow out of any storytelling estimate for the seventh Star Wars moving-picture show , the co - creator of Indiana Jones will not contribute to the plot of land of Indiana Jones and the Fifth Item of Archaeological Importance , according to Indy 5 screenwriter David Koepp . speak in a recent interview with Collider , Koepp says that there ’s been no consulting with Lucas about the taradiddle of the next film :

He ’s not , to my knowledge . I ’ve had no contact with him .

Lucas is involve with the movie , however — Spielbergtold press at the premiere of The BFGthat Lucas will be an executive manufacturer on the pic . But news show that he ’s not involved with the script of Indiana Jones 5 might give solace to fans who want a movie that ’s a little more like the first three picture show in the dealership and a bit less like Kingdom of the Crystal Skull . Koepp appears to agree , going on to talk over the importance of the “ MacGuffin ” that posture at the heart of every Indy film and how the new movie is looking to get a line from the error fence in the scifi caparison of Crystal Skull :

I consider that what [ Indy ] calculate for and when he looks for it dictates what the movie ’s gon na be . So the selection of the MacGuffin is everything . I think Kingdom of the Crystal Skull , being jell in 1957 there was a conscious desire to say , ‘ Much like two of the other ones were World War II movies set in the 30s and early 40s , this is ’ 57 so a lot of our influence are gon na be science - fable moving picture . ’ You got that with the original [ script ] , Jeb Stuart aim the first injection at it with Indiana Jones and the Saucer Men from Mars . That was a really witting determination that dictated a lot about what the story would be and what the movie would be like , and I think that was followed through on really nicely . I think Steve did a really expert line with that . I do n’t sleep together that the idea was most suitable to an Indiana Jones movie , but that was what we did . So we render to be very careful with the choice of the MacGuffin and the ERA to give ourselves as much latitude to make the best kind of Indiana Jones motion-picture show that we most want to see . learn how that ’s the grandness of the choice of the MacGuffin is a big deal .
