Everyone is blaming Disney for this but it wouldn't surprise me if Ford had two conditions to do TFA.

1: Solo Dies.

2: I'm the only guy that gets to play Indy.

Also Lucas wanted Indy to have a daughter not a son in Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls but Spielberg convinced him to make it a son. So honestly George wanted the whip and hat passed to a woman originally anyways.

Can someone explain outage culture to me?

I mean I hated the Prequels, I hated Ghostbusters 2016, I hate Kurtzman Trek but I'm not against reboots I loved BSG, I like the JJ Trek Films, I like most of Disney SW, even Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls I like and I hope to like this film if not I'll just never watch it again. Like the other stuff I dislike it can never take away what I have already gotten so who cares?

The only thing I ever HATED for existing in the SW Special Editions simply because they make getting good copies of the original versions hard that took something I love away. But outside of that I can ignore anything I dislike so I don't get the outrage when stuff like this happens.
