Perhaps bracing for let down and fan disappointment that seems to eventually come with the anticipation of a long awaited sequel to any movie George Lucas made with the obvious exception of Howard the Duck and The Radioland Murders, Uncle G told the press that the upcoming installment in the Indiana Jones franchise is "just a movie."
Mr. Lucas, I can understand why you might have some apprehension from this new Indy adventure living up to fan expectation but you sound as if you are preparing for a backlash. Having witnessed the Star Wars prequels, I can also understand your concern and desire to not over-inflate fan expectation. But unless the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is ruled by Jar Jar Binks I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.
edit - I think I should clarify that this movie will have to be pretty bad for me to not like it. I'm still a little concerned that George Lucas was the one who wasn't happy with the scripts for all those years. I can imagine him saying "Can we add a line where someone says they have a bad feeling about this? It's a good way for a character to convey the tone of the moment without having to spend a lot of time establishing it through other means. Then we have more money left over to render Jar Jar."
For the most part, I think I'll just be able to sit back and enjoy the show.

Come on now. With out Jar Jar any kid under 8 would have fallen asleep in Episode One. That was Lucas' last attempt at trying to get the whole family to a Star Wars flick.
For Indy all I need is Ford, the hat, whip, and a John Williams score.....wait....I may have some Freudian issues.
Freudian issues aside, Jar Jar sucked. So did the Ewoks. So does that guy that works the Glory Hole at that park in Spanish Fork.
Well I am one of few who thought Star Wars never needed to go further than A New Hope.
But if you wanted to get little girls into Star Wars in the 80's so you could get more cash...Ewoks were the answer.
Oh and let be known. Any movie with the premise being a hot chick having sex with a duck is an INSTANT classic!
