The way people on this site preemptively wish for movies to fail will never cease to amaze me. So much anger for no reason. Just wait for the friggin thing to come out and see if it's any good! Didn't we just go through this with Avatar? I for one am a huge Harrison Ford fan, I think the original Raiders is one of the greatest movies of all time, so I'm rooting for this one.

No one WISHES for the movies to fail. How do you even arrive at that? It's the current trend in Hollywood to intentionally destroy established franchises and iconic characters though that the fans are done with.
How you don't see that is suspect as hell, since they directors and writers flat out state that's absolutely their intent.
Why would a director gleefully admit they're going to malign the star character. One who in this case is clearly making his last appearance on screen. Same as Taika Waititi who went out of his way to tell fans he was going to destroy thier mythos. Or the writers of She-Hulk, who grinned at 'owning the trolls', who are in reality just fans of the thing SHE'S working on but has chosen to destroy it instead.
Yes, this movie will fail like Rings of Power failed and so many others.

Then you should have wanted him to remain ridden off into the sunset, literally, at the end of Last Crusade. We got three classic movies with an iconic character. why do we need to witness the guy all the way into a retirement home? Can't we allow the character to remain ageless in our minds the way we last saw him, at his best?
Instead, we've now gotten a dead Han Solo,
a dead and emasculated Luke Skywalker,
a dead and Mary Poppins Leia.
Now a geriatric Indiana Jones?
I don't want this to fail...I don't want ANYTHING to fail. What I want is for Hollywood to fricking STOP rebooting old IPs and allow old stories to remain, and start creating NEW stories.
