following the 1989 release of "indiana jones and the last crusade", lucas let the series end as he felt he could not think of a good plot device to drive the next installment, and chose instead to produce "the young indiana jones chronicles", which explored the character in his early years. ford played indiana in one episode, narrating his adventures in 1920 chicago. when lucas shot ford's role in december 1992, he realized that the scene opened up the possibility of a film with an older indiana set in the 1950s. the film could reflect a science fiction 1950s b-movie, with aliens as the plot device. ford disliked the new angle, telling lucas: "no way am i being in a steve spielberg movie like that." spielberg himself, who depicted aliens in "close encounters of the third kind" and "e.t. the extra-terrestrial", resisted it. lucas devised a story, which jeb stuart turned into a script from october 1993 to may 1994. lucas wanted indiana to get married, which would allow henry jones sr. to return, expressing concern over whether his son is happy with what he has accomplished. after learning that joseph stalin was interested in psychic warfare, lucas decided to have russians as the villains and the aliens to have psychic powers. following stuart's next draft, lucas hired "last crusade" writer jeffrey boam to write the next three versions, the last of which was completed in march 1996. three months later, "independence day" was released, and spielberg told lucas he would not make another alien invasion film (or at least not until "war of the worlds" in 2005). lucas decided to focus on the "star wars" prequels instead.
