Because they want to bring an enjoyable movie to the many people that will go to the movies to enjoy a bit of harmless escapism?
Who said this was Lucas-free?

They might as well cast Ford's actual son as Indy Junior. He will be old enough.

Spielberg will probably go out of his way to make up for Crystal Skull, so I expect this to be Raiders 3: The Last Crusade 2 honestly.

A sequel. Why did it have to be a sequel.

I found that it had some flaws. For me that doesn't translate into a god awful piece of shit. It was an entertaining action flick. It's no Raiders but not much is.
Shia wasn't bad but the character Mutt was terrible. It was just so forced and silly. Pretty much every aspect of the film was just bad. I can't imagine how they'll write themselves out of that hole.

I like 4 more then most but idk about this.
Last one was kinda the natural ending point and Harrison respectfully doesn't seem like a "action guy" anymore.

Admittedly I'm just making the assumption it will be considering Disney basically did this with Lucas for Episode 7
If we go by when year Crystal skull took place in(1957) and add 11 years then we are up to 1968.
Of course I am in the "why even bother camp." because the last movie was awful and ford will be pushing 80 years old when this is being filmed.

Oh fuck yes. Can't wait. I'm almost more excited for this than Star Wars.
And for all the complainers about his age:
This film is clearly (IMO) going to set up for a passing-of-the-torch. He'll have some action-y bits but don't expect him to be running around like he did in the 80s. That will be reserved for some younger castmates. He pulled it off with Han Solo. No reason to believe he can't do it with Indy.
He'll play the Sean Connery role, so to speak. Connery was 69 in The Last Crusade. Harrison will be 77 in this. It works.

Harrison Ford is only a year younger than Bernie Sanders.
Think about that for a minute.

The assumption being that a "geriatric Harrison Ford" is going to be running from boulders and shit. A movie about a near 80 year old Indy isn't inherently bad, it just needs to be written with the understanding that it's a movie about a near 80 year old Indiana Jones.
Indiana Jones is not a character I ever want to see another actor play. I would prefer to have him pass the franchise down to a different character than have it be rebooted.

Then why bring back Harrison Ford?
If Indiana Jones isn't running away from boulders and shit then it shouldn't be an Indiana Jones movie. That's just boring grandpa man trying to act young. Nobody gives a shit about Indy as a character, he's just cool action man. And you want to take away the cool action part!

It's Spielberg though. They have a long history together.

What was wrong with him in Star Wars VII?
He's not mentioned once in the press release. They make it a point to mention "franchise veterans" Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall returning. I would think if he was involved at all as far as producing or story, as in previous films, he would get a mention.

Get Daisy Ridley to be the one who takes up the mantle.

They should cast Samuel L. Jackson as his adventuring partner and make this the Die Hard With a Vengeance of the franchise.

Hype level: 0.
Crystal Skull is so fucking bad that I have no hope for this one. Let it die already.

Lucas was also the only franchise veteran not mentioned in the press release

Lucas only wrote Temple of Doom I believe.

Isn't the word on the street the only iconic role Ford actually cares about is Indiana Jones? This shouldn't be any surprise to anyone. Also, wasn't there a rumor he basically said he'd only do Star Wars if Disney would give him a new Indiana Jones film?

He wasn't the star of the movie
