20. Indiana Jones rides again on June 30, 2023. “I know that this is Star Wars Celebration. Here’s a little piece that is not Star Wars, but you might know it,” said Williams, just before leading the orchestra in the classic Indiana Jones theme. With that, director of the upcoming fifth Indiana Jones film, James Mangold, producer Frank Marshall, and Harrison Ford — receiving perhaps the day’s biggest ovation — took the stage.

Though no story details were discussed, Ford did offer an update on Indy’s next adventure. “We have almost completed the next Indiana Jones film, featuring the music of John Williams,” he said. “I am really proud of the movie that we made. So I’ll be seeing you around campus.”

After teasing "here's a little piece that is not Star Wars, but you might know it," Williams conducted a rousing performance of the famous march from the Indiana Jones films, which was capped with an onstage appearance by the personification of both Indy and Han Solo himself, Harrison Ford.

"It's such an honor for me to be able to congratulate John and his fine music," said Ford. "I told John on another occasion when he had a chance to get together 'That music follows me everywhere I go.' And you know, I'm happy about it."

"That music was playing in the operating room when I had my last colonoscopy," the action star quipped. "I passed."

"We all know what John does musically," he continued, growing more heartfelt. "What you may not know, and what I've come to really appreciate, is the warmth, the generosity, the boyish spirit of this man. The most gracious man. The gentlest, kindest man, and a wonderful, wonderful talent. We're very blessed, all of us."

"We have almost completed the next Indiana Jones film, featuring the music of John Williams," Ford added, referencing the as-yet-untitled next installment, directed by James Mangold and the first in the series not to be helmed by filmmaker Steven Spielberg, due in theaters June 30, 2023. "I'm really proud of the movie that we made. So I'll be seeing you around campus."

ILM really can do everything. Make Harrison Ford look like he's smiling? Wow!

When was the last time Harrison Ford ever looked that happy?

Ke Huy Quan’s big comeback makes me wish that we’d had Short Round back in Crystal Skull instead of Shia It would have been nice to have him interact with Marion putting up with Willie in Temple of Doom.

My friend who loves Ke in Everything Everywhere All At Once had never seen Temple of Doom or Goonies, so I introduced her to both over the weekend. And like most of us, she couldn’t stand Willie. That movie really was trying to recreate the Han and Leia dynamic and it failed abysmally.

You know, it might have made a difference if her character had undergone any sort of growth let alone uncovered a tougher side to prove she wasn’t completely useless in a crisis. But nope, she was the same basic, obnoxious, spoiled bitch from beginning to end. Not even seeing the poor village or those kids being enslaved seemed to affect her that much. Or if it did, the movie didn’t do a good job conveying it. One person on this thread said she became a Mama Bear to Shorty, but from what I could tell, he was more of a minder to her than the other way around.

Indy is a parent to both Short Round and Willie in the movie! When he tells her to eat the food the starving villagers are offering and she refuses. He's a total dad when he "Your insulting them and you're embarrassing me. EAT IT."

She didn't see the enslaved children. She had been captured. There's supposed to be a deleted scene where she runs back to the palace after the human sacrifice and is relieved to find Chattar Lal the prime minister, but then realizing he's already drank the Blood of Kali and brainwashed. She also punches that one Thugee during the mine car chase. 

My one defense of Willie is she's what makes the spike chamber scene work where it's a real nail biter. Anybody else would have freed Indy and Shorty right away!

It's funny that Kate Capshaw was in Ridley Scott's BLACK RAIN playing an American who runs a club in Yokohama. Essentially a much tougher version of Willie Scott!

I always think of Raiders as an 80s movie set in the 30s while TOD is a 30s movie made in the 80s. Raiders is an action movie with comedy in it while Last Crusade is a comedy with action. Crystal Skull is Indy in a 50s sci fi movie.

Yeeeeah, I can’t really blame for for freaking out about the bugs, but then she was complaining about another broken nail when Indy and Shorty were seconds away from being killed. SMH.

Good point that she never saw the enslaved children. But I still side-eye her for her attitude about the village AND pouring perfume on that poor little elephant. Glad it got back at her though. Again, they could have written her a little better about having some empathy for the villagers instead of spending most of her time screaming and scheming to marry the maharajah or obsessing about diamonds.

She's a screwball comedy heroine who ended up in a jungle adventure by mistake. That's how I look at her.

TOD arent really isn't that scary  compared to other Spielberg movies like Jaws or Poltergeist(which he produced). I think the reason the horror upsets a lot of viewers is that it's so unexpected when it comes halfway through the movie. Most horror movies set the tone at the beginning that prepares the audience that bad stuff is about to happen, but TOD opens with a Busby Berkeley style dance number!
