It's fairly safe to assume that not everyone will react to this news the same way. For some, George Lucas' apparent lack of involvement in the project may be somewhat disheartening. However, there's likely to be an equal portion of the population who feels somewhat relieved by this. For all of his prowess and wizardry on the technical side of filmmaking (something we really cannot ignore), George Lucas has not exactly proven himself as the most competent storyteller in recent years. With that in mind, David Koepp and Steven Spielberg have done stellar work together on films like Jurassic Park and War of the Worlds, so Lucas' absence could allow the next Indy movie to flourish in unforeseen ways.
