As far as Star Wars...I think the most logical guess would be when the new TV series hits...

I would hope at least indy 4 this year. From a marketing standopoint that would be a good time to go on and do 1-3 like they did with Rocky. Iknow - wishful thinking.

Like others have said, 2 years seems about right for Star Wars.

And while we may see Indiana Jones 4 this year, I could see them holding off on the others.

2 to 3 years max before Indy...as for Star Wars....thats another story all together.

I like the idea of Star Wars Blus when the live action series premieres. I definitely see it being at least a 2 year wait though. When exactly is the show hoping to start?

Also do we think we'll get all 6 at once? Marketing wise, I think it would be best to put out the prequels first, put out the originals the year after, and put out a 6 pack 1 or 2 years after that.

I could definitely see us getting the prequels first though for several reasons.

1. Newer films, so they may look better in HD (considering 2 and 3 are all digital, this should be the case)
2. They tie in a bit more with the live action series IMO
3. They aren't as liked, but people will be dieing for a Star Wars fix on Blu so they will buy them for sure. Releasing them after the original 3 would probably result slightly reduced sales numbers.

The original Indy is so huge though that it doesn't really need to tie into anything to get big numbers.

Along these same lines though, I really hope they give us season 1 and 2 on Blu this year to tie into the new movie. Different studios though, so who knows.

George Lucas would make more money if release the prequels first along with a Boxset with all Six films. That way everyone who didn’t care for the prequels would have no choice but to buy the box set if they want IV-VI now.
