Everything is a ripoff if you go back far enough. You're the one who posted way back when about how there are only 5 story plots and everything is just a riff on one of those.
Star Wars was definitely an homage to old movie serials, and Indy is clearly the same with the various set pieces. But doesn't change the fact that no one cares because they're entertaining movies.
It's the "Magnificent Seven is worse than the original Seven Samurai" argument writ large. It's only said to claim film snob credit.
