Too Old to Be Indiana Jones??

I was mulling over some recent press surrounding the announcement about the 5th Indiana Jones movie, starring Harrison Ford.  The articles I saw were stories about Harrison Ford's age as far as playing the character.  I first saw an article in The Guardian, titled Indiana Jones and the Tide of Ageism: why such a reaction to the fifth film?  The Guardian article reported on the reactions regarding Mr. Ford's age: "[y]et the bulk of the backlash to the announcement instead concerned Ford’s age: 73 at the moment, 77 when the movie will be released in late summer 2019. The Noël Cowards of social media were swift to deploy their finest...."  The article then includes some tweets where references were made (suggesting other movie titles that are pointed references to his age).  I wondered how wide-spread these social media remarks had become, so I went looking for a few other articles, and found this one from USA Today, The world has loads of fake titles ready for 'Indiana Jones 5' which reports on more tweets and notes "[n]ow, Indy has never fought off pits of snakes in the digital age, therefore we welcome him to the future with a host of crowd-sourced titles for the currently untitled Indiana Jones 5. (Spoiler: ageism affects men too.)"  I liked this statement in the Guardian article "[a]ll of this can be done just as easily at 77 as 37. Indeed, it could also be achieved at 87. Just as academia is not a young person’s game, neither is archeology."

Did I miss these types of stories when Mr. Ford reprised his Han Solo role in the most recent Star Wars movie?

All I can think is hmmm....
