What great potential there is for some great and creative storytelling while paying tribute to and carrying on the spirit of Indiana Jones.
It would be amazing to follow a now Grown up Short Round going on his own adventures utilizing what he's learned from his time with Dr. Jones as well as whatever knowledge he's picked up on his own growing up in the time since we saw him in Temple of doom set in 1935.
imagine a 40 year old Short Round solving a mystery left behind from his former mentor, taking place in the 70's. The storytelling possibilities are endless. You could play with the setting, the time period, the geography. It's perfect timing as we've really seen Ke Huy Quan sgow his talents in the movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once” he's shpwn his acting ability, his talent for drama his skill in action. It's just time for a rebirth of the Indy spirit. Short round is the perfect option to explore.
Such life has been revitalized in other classic franchises like Rocky. Thanks to the Creed movies. And also in Top Gun. The potential for greatness is great. Disney had such great success in expanding storylines in the Star Wars universe thanks to Obiwan Kenobi and The Mandalorian. Aseries on Disney+
would be fun, but I feel the world of Indy deserves big blockbuster movies.
Come on Lucasfilm lets get on this. Heck I'll write a spec acript if you want.
