Unlike Star Wars, Lucasfilm doesn't outright own all of the rights to Indiana Jones. Disney would have to do deals with Paramount to do much of anything with Indiana Jones.

Something I hadn't previously considered is that given Disney does its own distribution, they probably have no need to use 20th Century Fox on the new Star Wars movies. Having a Star Wars movie that doesn't open up with the 20th Century Fox drumroll is going to be downright weird.

Good to know. The only Indiana Jones movie I have seen is the Crystal Skull one, so I'm not up on my Jones.

I didn't think of that either. It would be weird, although, I don't think I'm going to see it anyways. The story has ended and I'm content.

Go watch Raiders of the Lost Ark. I can't bear the thought of someone having only seen the Crystal Skull (aka Nuke the Fridge) as their exposure to Indiana Jones.
