Star Wars References in the Indy films.

1. Beginning of Temple of Doom, the club is named Club Obi Wan, there's a sign as Indy leaves in the taxi.

2. Toward the end of Temple of Doom, right before the bridge seen, Indy chases the one guy with the sword off screen, only to be chased back by a swarm that were out of site, just like when he charges after the storm trooper on the death star in A New Hope.

Any others?

There's an R2D2 on the Ark of the Covenant.

It's really hard to notice, but a tag on Short Round's shirt reveals his real name:

Qui-Gon Jinn.

from imdb.com:

Raiders of the Lost Ark:


The hieroglyphics in the Well of Souls include engravings of R2-D2 and C-3PO (from Star Wars (1977), etc). They can be seen on a post to the right of Indy and Sallah as they remove the Ark.


Jock's airplane at the beginning has the registration number "OB-CPO", referring to Obi-wan and C-3PO from Star Wars (1977).

Indiana Jones is played by Harrison Ford who had a cameo in Star Wars as the lovable smuggler Han Solo.

Really? I'll have to rewatch Star Wars to see if I can spot him this time.

How cool would it be if the upcoming Indiana Jones movie involved Area 51 and Roswell (as some early rumors suggested), and at the end the craft that lands contains C-3PO and R2-D2?

Okay, maybe it wouldn't be cool...

I guess nobody noticed the oddest thing in Last Crusade: A half-track full of ewoks

It would be cooler if E.T. came out and Indy shot him. Imagine the cheers in the audience.

Near the scene where Indy
Spoiler:
shoots the guy with the big knife in Raiders
* and you know he is sick with that stomach illness, he makes this grimace and you know he's thinking, "Damn! Working on the Star Wars sets was a helluva a lot easier than this film!". I mean it's so obvious he's thinking this.

(Does that count?)



-Gunshy

* yeah, I know, but apparently some haven't seen the Indy movies yet

Instead of R2-D2 in the Roswell crash, the ship is full of Gungans.

Indy attempted to recover three sacred stones in "Temple of Doom"... three... the same number of films in the original STAR WARS trilogy!
