George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and the creation of Indiana Jones

The New Yorker wrote Spitballing Indy: George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and the creation of Indiana Jones "So I was gobsmacked to discover, recently, that over several days in 1978, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and the screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan worked through an idea Lucas had for a film called ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark,’ and they recorded the sessions. And there’s a transcript. And it’s online."

The transcript is long, the linked to article has highlights. Based on those highlights it makes some sense to me. Lucas had better ideas, Speilberg knew how to direct.
