Harrison Ford is fuckin' over it!

Looks like Harrison Ford answered Ian McKellen via t-shirt:

Hilarious.

Health and Safety, Dr. Jones!

Time flies by and I have not posted about Indy for a while. Time to get back with this brilliant video I found this morning in my mail:

Comedian Tom McDonnell has written and sings this little song and I have to say: Well done sir! Same to the team who did the hilarious video. Amazing how similar the place and the folks are to the office I spend half of my life in ;-)

Star Wars/Indiana Jones timeline

How about the idea of linking Star Wars to Indiana Jones? The comic "Into the Great Unknown" that links the two sagas together is old news, so what's new? Some Star Wars fans seems to have picked up the idea lately and started to create an Star Wars timeline between the galaxy far, far away and our little planet.


From Star Wars to Indiana Jones - the all-in-one timeline:

What they have done is quite simple: The comic features a Millennium Falcon crashing on earth that is then found 126 years later by Indiana Jones and Short Round. Using this fact as well as that Indy finds the Falcon after the Atlantis story and an estimation of Short Rounds age, a timeline has been created that puts the Battle of Yavin (first Death Star) to the year 1804 (earth time).

The key panels from "Into the Great Unknown" the Star Wars / Indiana Jones timeline is based upon.

Nice idea, isn't it. If only the authors would have looked a bit more into the Indy universe. Short Round "looks a bit older" and because of that they choose the year 1939 as the anchor date when the Falcon was found. Short Round is born in 1926, making him 13 in 1939. He looks older in the comic and there is no reason why the story could not have happened years later.

But in the end this is just a mind game. In the canon core part of the Star Wars universe Han and Chewbacca never vanish and "Into the Great Unknown" is just a little entertaining one-shot comic.

Indy awesomeness, yeah!

Neill Cameron put together 26 'A to Z Awesomeness' drawings based on suggestions from fans over a 26 day period. The results are .. awesome.

clone wars

I stumbled over this nice photo from a Japanese comic convention in 2009 (most likely Comiket 76). Now that's a bunch of Indys that the stormtroopers rounded up here but I keep asking myself, how many of the stormtroopers are actually Han Solos in disguise ;o)
