: : Looking over the Young Indy videos on the new site, I was really surprised that they put so many historical figures into each episode. I mean, "Pancho" Villa, Edison, and Patton in one episode seems like a touch much, (besides, didn't they do that on Voyagers?). They all look really interesting, with some intriguing storylines, but I don't understand why they used the historical figure gimmick in every one.

: : I think Lucas may have liked the 'Indy meeting Hitler' scene in Last Crusade a little too much. I just hope they don't try to continue this trend in Indy 4, and have him bump into Elvis.

: Hey. I agree that the old "Indy meets every famous person from the
: early 20th century" schtick got a little tedious, but Indy's meetings
: with these folks never seemed forced. The idea of Henry Sr's lecture
: circuit taking the Joneses all over the globe was believable enough.
: But Indy's war years (meeting Hemmingway, Ho Chi Mihn, Schwietzer, the
: Red Baron, etc) seemed like a little bit too much good luck on Indy's
: part. Still, YIJC remains one of my all time favorite shows. It ranks
: right up there with Andy Grifith.
