Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg clashed with George Lucas over "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." "They didn’t want to do a ‘Raiders’ movie that involved aliens, and they kind of got into a fight with George about it," producer Kathleen Kennedy recalls. "They were not 100 percent on board, which is why the movie, out of the four that Steven made, is the weakest." George Lucas adds: “I wanted it to be kind of a ‘War of the Worlds’ sort of thing.
