[edit] Biography

Jones's native homeworld was a planet with much ocean and forests. The planet was very primitive compared to most of the galaxy, even being surprised at the common sight of a starship.[1] Sometime later, he met Shorty, a young boy. He also visited a region on his planet known as Atlantis, along with other discoveries.[1]

One of his discoveries was the habitat of Chewbacca (whom the local Human natives preferred to call "Sasquatch") and the crashed Millennium Falcon, which, as he admitted, was unlike anything he had seen before, even in Atlantis. Jones and his assistant, Shorty, started to explore the ship's wreckage, but decided to leave it alone after encountering strangely disturbing remains of Han Solo within.[1]

He carried a whip and a pistol as weapons,[2] and had a strong resemblance to Rebel Alliance hero Han Solo, which both he himself and fellow hero Luke Skywalker noticed.[1][3] He wore the same clothes wherever he went, including a fedora.[2][1][3]

[edit] Behind the scenes

Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones Jr. was created by George Lucas for Raiders of the Lost Ark, and played by Harrison Ford. A total of four films have been made, which were co-written and produced by George Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg. The character was also played by Corey Carrier, Sean Patrick Flanery, and George Hall in George Lucas' The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles television series.

Indiana Jones's name came from Indiana, a dog of Lucas's who was also the inspiration for Chewbacca. For a list of Star Wars references in Indiana Jones, see List of references to Star Wars in movies.

Many cast and crew members, as well as authors have been involved in both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises:

LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga features a playable cameo by Dr. Jones, most likely due to the recently released LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, and the ease of porting character files between the compatible games. The game features himself using a whip or a pistol. Also, like many other characters, he can jump, roll, and fire three shots rapidly. Previews of Lego Indiana Jones show him with stubble on his face. However, his face here is the same as Han Solo (whose basic animations he shares).

In The Paradise Snare, Han Solo has many aliases given by Garris Shrike. One of them is "Jenos Idanian," an anagram of "Indiana Jones."
