(this is the big artistic license part:) true to form, the wizard would be hiding in some obscure place (aka promised land), but the hebrews were going there regardless because egypt was downright awful. plus they had a stud to save. however, the hebrews were interrupted along the way at mount sinai when god told moses "a whole bunch of moral stuff" that seemed much more important than han solo (i know, it's hard to believe that divine intervention could possibly be more important than him). regardless, the aforementioned hebrews were then very interested in burying han solo's ark of the stud under mount sinai and eager to continue onward to jerusalem. from there, it's quite obvious why anyone would want to find the ark of the stud... do carbonite-frozen man pieces melt when they're buried in a desert for thousands of years? to use two fantastic cliches, it is a pinnacle of knowledge, ripe for the picking. evil villain seeking ultimate knowledge finds the ark of the stud, indy has to save the day, indy kills evil villain, returns ark to rightful place in desert. hooray! so that's the story; talk about intrigue... they should probably leave out hitler, though. a more modern mass-terror-inflicting villain (a la saddam hussein or darth vader) would be more appropriate for the part. actually, darth vader isn't modern. forget it, scrap the whole idea - without vader, the story just doesn't make any sense... i was thinking, the plot of the fourth installment of the series might be centered around the quest for the ark of the stud. that, of course, is the chest in which the hebrews carried the very studly pieces of han solo after he had been frozen in carbonite and shattered (in a hurried and poorly planned escape attempt, chewbacca dropped him and he broke into lots of little pieces. at this point, the pieces were gathered and thrown into a large-enough container which was shipped to the hebrews aboard the millenium falcon, piloted by an inconsolable chewbacca.)

true to form, the wizard would be hiding in some obscure place (aka promised land), but the hebrews were going there regardless because egypt was downright awful. plus they had a stud to save. however, the hebrews were interrupted along the way at mount sinai when god told moses “a whole bunch of moral stuff” that seemed much more important than han solo (i know, it’s hard to believe that divine intervention could possibly be more important than him). regardless, the aforementioned hebrews were then very interested in burying han solo’s ark of the stud under mount sinai and eager to continue onward to jerusalem. from there, it’s quite obvious why anyone would want to find the ark of the stud… do carbonite-frozen man pieces melt when they’re buried in a desert for thousands of years? to use two fantastic cliches, it is a pinnacle of knowledge, ripe for the picking. evil villain seeking ultimate knowledge finds the ark of the stud, indy has to save the day, indy kills evil villain, returns ark to rightful place in desert. hooray!

so that’s the story; talk about intrigue… they should probably leave out hitler, though. a more modern mass-terror-inflicting villain (a la saddam hussein or darth vader) would be more appropriate for the part. actually, darth vader isn’t modern. forget it, scrap the whole idea – without vader, the story just doesn’t make any sense…
