They did it with Indy because the sequel is out 40 years after the original. It wouldn't make sense to do a Godfather Part II style dual-actor for the film.

That's not to say the technology isn't overused.

It’s hardly unprecedented to have a new actor play the same character. How many people have played Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot or James Bond?
