Panel Overview

The Young Indy Chroniclers podcast takes you back to where the Star Wars Prequels all began — with Indiana Jones. Before George Lucas returned to the Galaxy Far, Far Away, he turned back the clock on the Indiana Jones franchise to tell the tales of the fedora-wearing hero’s early years. What transpired was truly a labor of love for George Lucas and Lucasfilm, and also a proving ground for many of the techniques and themes that would be utilized in the Star Wars Prequels. Names such as Rick McCallum, David Tattersall, Gavin Bocquet, Trisha Biggar, Jonathan Hales, and more, who’s work would be a defining feature of the Prequel films, started out on the Young Indiana Jones TV series. The Young Indy Chroniclers podcast now trace the origins of the Star Wars Prequels to its earliest days in Young Indiana Jones, from the development and implementation of cutting edge technology, to how the themes and characters explored in Young Indiana Jones would find their way to the Galaxy Far Far Away.
