As this newly released trailer shows, the tongue-in-cheek humor, charm and co-op play that's made the previous LEGO offerings so appealing doesn't seem to have been turned town in the tiniest for LEGO Indiana Jones 2 -- and we can't wait to create some truly weird stuff with the new level editor. We're thinking of awarding a prize to the editor who devises the most ingenious and playfully painful way to get rid of "Mutt" -- preferably as fast as possible -- since all of our pleas to Lucas to write him out of canon have thus far gone ignored.

I'd like to throw George Lucas in a lead-lined fridge. Just to test his theory.

I really never understood these complaints about Crystal Skull. Go back and watch the old movies, Temple of Doom inparticular had a lot more ridiculous moments. Indinana Jones is supposed to be based on old adventure serials, where things like that happened all the time, nothing about any of the movies were ever serious. And yes, even aliens fit into those serials.
I can't believe how cynical everyone has become, that they can't even accept surreal things happening in an Indy movie.

We as a younger audience were able to buy into gods power in a box, the ability to remove someone's heart while he's alive and the holy Grail brcause frankly that's all still fiction. A nuclear bomb is very real to us. We know it exists. We've seen the destruction it can wreck. So when you have your hero standining in awe right on the "fuck me with cancer" zone of the blast, we get upset.

There's a huge difference between Temple of Doom and Crystal Skull. Sure they both had their silly moments, but just try rewatching Crystal Skull again. There's more wrong with it than just the silly stuff. Everything just feels off, and the actors sound like they don't give a shit. We all know Stephen Spielberg doesn't care either, and it shows there too.
I tried rewatching it recently (first time since it hit theatres) and really it is just a purely awful film. Not even as good as the Mummy 2!!! (yeah that's saying alot).

Also, let's take a poll. Which character is worse? Jar Jar Binks or 'Mutt' Jones?

Jar Jar was essentially the attempted murder of Star Wars's dignity, whereas Mutt was, ahem, an "attempt to reach out to a younger audience".
Sure, the creation of Mutt was a pretty bad cash-in on the fact that teenaged girls were in love with Shia LaBeouf at the time, but I have serious doubts that a googly-eyed alien was created for the same person.
Excuse me, I have to watch Conan O'Brien and laugh at him because of the fact that he's a googly-eyed alien with a purpose: to be funny.

But, Indy Jr. could have been awesome!!!
Also, Jar Jar is worse than the whole midichlorian thing. Though that can be debatable..

I still remember when Mutt was vine swinging at around 60 km/h or most likely even more, considering how fast the jeeps were. That was hilarious

Well, actually it was Indy before this latest movie. As much as I like Uncharted.
Perhaps Nolan North should star in Indy 5?

I vote they stop beating the dead horse. Once they killed Sean Connery the series lost all hope.

@ Tom Kalinske, CEO. I don't think he ever died...But even he can't keep the series alive. He is scheduled to be in the next film as well. They should have definately stopped.

If you're in your 20s or over, then its sad that a twelve year old knows more about tv shows than you....especially the Oblongs(which I liked for Will Ferrell alone)

I wouldn't say he knows more about TV shows than I do. I just watch different shows.
Example: I can claim to have seen every episode of Seinfeld, Boston Legal, Alias, NCIS, Bones, House...

Because the man is clearly insane. He has clearly lost his grip on reality.
Either that, or he's realized he can slap either "STAR WARS" or "Indiana Jones" on a turd and sell millions!
Oh, wait. I just described the current state of the Sonic franchise...
Still applies, though.

What Lucas needs to do is turn the entire Star Wars franchise over to BioWare. They've done a better job with it than he did.

There's no money in that! They won't be able to charge $40-$60 (USD) a hit... erm, add-on, so it makes sense to just throw the add-on's on a disc and put them on store shelves.
Because people will buy them. People like me.
Because the Lego games are the only ones my fiance ever wants to play, aside from the Ultimate Alliance games, and 'Splosion Man...
Sigh...

I love the Indy series, but I don't want to experience Indy being raped by Lucas and Spieldberg again....
