I heard on their conference call that they didn't even think about Indy when buying LFL. They just got it as a bonus. They also said it was worth nothing. Not good news.

I thought this came automatically with Lucasfilm

But really what are Disney going to do with Indy? He's a signular character who I don't think Fans wouldn't want to see potrayed by any other actor than Ford. Just look at how well the Young Indy Chronicles are veiwed by most fans. Where as Star Wars is a Universe encompassing many characters and multiple generations of stories. That's not saying that Disney isn't going to get something out of Indiana Jones, but the big deal about this whole thing is Disney controling Star Wars.

nice, Spystreak...but my favorite song is Bicycle by Queen. Yknow...the one where Freddie Mercury said "And I don't like Star Wars?"
