When [Indy] had suffered the consequences of the life that he had to live, I wanted one more chance to pick him up and shake the dust off his ass and stick him out there, bereft of some of his vigor, to see what happened.”

Although many Indiana Jones fans were unhappy with the last installment, Harrison Ford has made his peace with the character.
