A friend of mine loves Temple almost exclusively for Short Round's sake, I think on the grounds you describe. And I know what you mean, but I didn't love this movie in childhood, either.
(Probably it was my attempt to look at Short Round as a relatively bright spot that made me realize how inexcusably awful Willie is, in the social dynamic of the film.)
The new one . . . I'm hoping, but worried. Because they've updated the time period, which carries certain problems, and it involves Central America, which I know more about than may be compatible with enjoyment, and one of the frames in the trailer shows something with the word "Roswell" stenciled on it. And if aliens get involved in an Indiana Jones movie, I'm getting up and walking out of the theatre on the spot.
My hope is that the big warehouse from Raiders is actually at Roswell, and that's why the name shows up. It would make sense, and not annoy me too much.
