In an apparent turnaround from his previous insinuation that Shia LaBeouf’s character Mutt from Indy IV might take over the franchise, George Lucas now insists that is not the way it’s going to go down.
“No no no no, dear heavens no, no no no no no no,” Lucas was reported to have said.
He also reportedly said,
“No no no no no no no no golly no.”
Meanwhile, LaBeouf continues to recover from a car accident that left his fingers crushed and his arm temporarily out-of-commission:
We’re pulling for you, Shia.
I’ve long ago learned to stop relying on anything Lucas has to say, even about his own properties. His affection for retconning things and insisting they’ve always been that way is main reason.
