The Making of Indiana Jones or Indiana Jones Pedophile?

George Lucas: I was thinking that this old guy could have been his mentor. He could have known this little girl when she was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven.

Lawrence Kasdan: And he was forty-two.

George Lucas: He hasn’t seen her in twelve years. Now she’s twenty-two. It’s a real strange relationship.

Steven Spielberg: She had better be older than twenty-two.

George Lucas: He’s thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she was only twelve. It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time.

Steven Spielberg: And promiscuous. She came onto him.

George Lucas: Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it’s an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she’s sixteen or seventeen it’s not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was madly in love with him and he…

Egad! A sexual relationship between a twenty five year old and a sixteen or seventeen year old is not interesting? I realize that age differences like this weren’t as big of a deal in the ’30s, but it’s strange how Mr. Lucas is focused on this. What makes this more creepy is the huge age difference found in the Star Wars prequels.

Now the ages probably were 25 and 16, judging by Harrison Ford’s and Karen Allen’s age during the filming of the movie (they’re exactly 9 years apart), if that’s anything to go by. Still, the original idea of a 42 year old banging a 12 year old is fucking creeptastic.
