On Indy, absolutely and I think that’s the crux of the thing, it’s a matter of what criteria you use to define as making something political. I don’t think Indiana Jones was trying to say anything politically so much as “hey, these are some good bad guys!” Same with Star Wars. Now, if that’s enough for you to count something as political, that’s certainly an opinion to which you are entitled. For me, for something to be political it has to be more involved than just “that dictator/party/X is bad!” (E.g., I’d say Lucas tried to make an overtly political series with the prequels.)
