Panel Overview

David West Reynolds used this session to apply an archaeology-minded approach to Indiana Jones, drawing on his background as both an archaeologist and a Lucasfilm author. The panel likely examined the real-world archaeological inspirations behind the Indiana Jones films, the way adventure storytelling transforms artifacts and sites into cinematic set pieces and the connection between Lucasfilm’s two great pulp traditions: Star Wars and Indiana Jones. At Celebration IV, it gave fans a related Lucasfilm history session outside the main Star Wars timeline.
