    Ok, I'll be first. Where in the trailer does it hint that Marion was 16 when they had sex? Did I miss something here? All I saw was Lego Indiana Jones? #legoindianajones2

    @Stereoxous: It's part of the backstory to Raiders of the Lost Ark.

    Indy was the pupil of Dr. Abner Ravenwood, and during his time with the Doctor he had a relationship with Marion - Indy being 27 and Marion being 16/17. During the scene in the nepalese bar in the movie - which is being shown here in both it's orignal and lego-ified form - Indy and Marion argue, and she says 'I was a child! I was in love! It was wrong and you knew it!'

    So now you know! =D #legoindianajones2

    In the 20s/30s this really wouldn't have been all that weird.....I know numerous women my grandmother's age (which would be about the same age as Marion if she were real) who were married with multiple kids before the age of 18. Most women didn't go to college or even finish high school back then, so those who weren't married by their early to mid twenties were often considered to be into old maid territory. Having kids too far into your thirties was rare, and having kids in your forties like many women do today was near unheard of, so if folks wanted families they had to "settle down" much earlier than we do today.

    Heck the age of consent is still 16 in some states and in numerous countries around the world.

    That said, it would certainly be a bit creepy today....but historically it actually feels more accurate I think to have her be pretty young. #legoindianajones2

    @jcb231: Not creepy today, in the UK and most parts of Europe sixteen is the legal age of consent, (for all sexualities in the UK).

    Now, if it was someone much, much older then yeah - creepy. #legoindianajones2

    I don't get the fuss, 16 is perfectly legal here in Australia. It's the same in Canada, and actually a lower in most of Europe.

    So if I sleep with a 16 year old now does that mean it's ok so long as we hook up again ten years from now when she's legal and I'm too old to get a new 16 year old?

    Hey, at least Lucas didn't make her the age he really wanted to her to be:

    Lucas: I was thinking that this old guy could have been his mentor. He could have known this little girl when she was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven.

    Kasdan: And he was forty-two.

    Lucas: He hasn't seen her in twelve years. Now she's twenty-two. It's a real strange relationship.

    Spielberg: She had better be older than twenty-two.

    Lucas: He's thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she was only twelve. It would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time.

    Spielberg: And promiscuous. She came onto him.

    Lucas: Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it's an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she's sixteen or seventeen it's not interesting anymore. But if she was fifteen and he was twenty-five and they actually had an affair the last time they met. And she was madly in love with him and he .

    LEGO LOTR, LEGO Harry Potter... all have the potential to be awesome. But LEGO Indy sucked big time - it had the same gameplay as SW and Batman, but it just didn't work as well as those games. Those LEGO games work because the characters are fantastical. But Indy is an normal guy - no powers, no gadgets, just a man who ends up in the most amazing situations. And while that's great to watch in a movie, that's not as much fun to play in a game.

    @eddienoteddy:
    I have to doubt it for other reasons. I mean, it makes sense that Indy 4 is getting gameified (doesn't make sense that they didn't include it in the current LEGO Indiana Jones game to begin with), but given the rumors that Indy 5 is already on their minds, I would have expected they'd wait until they have, you know, more than one movie to base it on. They've pretty much set a standard with having three distinct stories in each LEGO game (LSW:CS notwithstanding). Harry Potter, though? Word recently came out by way of NYTF that, while the LEGO Company does still hold the Harry Potter license, they have no plans to keep making sets based on the movies, given the much darker tone of the books from here on out. I suspect that they're of two minds regarding the history of the LEGO Harry Potter line, both thrilled over how hugely successful the first two series were (particularly the smash hit they had with the first Hogwarts Castle set), and not so thrilled with the fact that they're still paying for a license that they're decidedly uncomfortable with actually using anymore (remember, with the last movie all they actually released was a third iteration of Hogwarts Castle).


    And LEGO Hobbit? Um, erm, there's been no word on whether any license agreement has been reached (though I'm not sure they'd even announce it this early if there was), but it sounds like this could be something that TTG is doing on their own volition, without any actual LEGO license to back it up.
