title: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
text: Ford disliked the new angle , telling Lucas , `` No way am I being in a Steven 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 came up with a story , which Jeb Stuart turned into a script from October 1993 to May 1994 . ( Stuart had previously written The Fugitive , which starred Ford . ) 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 he learned that Joseph Stalin was interested in psychic warfare , he decided to have Soviets 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 . Lucas decided to focus on the Star Wars prequels .
