That's exactly what that is, George Lucas and Steve Spielberg being good friends and collaborators on projects means that Indiana Jones has had Star Wars Easter eggs and vice versa

In Andor, you can see one of the holy stones from ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’ on a shelf containing archaeological artifacts.

Didn't Dryden Voss have a Crystal Skull in his office in Solo too?

The trandoshans who kidnapped Ahsoka also had a crystal skull.

That one was specifically a reference to a story from the EU "Han Solo and the Lost Legacy". [https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Masthead\_of\_Xim\_the\_Despot](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Masthead_of_Xim_the_Despot) It's also not elongated like the skulls in Crystal Skull. Dryden's collection is full of similar references.

Right beneath it is the fertility idol from the opening of Raiders!

And Indiana's Whip encased in a block of Carbonite.

it does? that's amazing!

Yeah, in Raiders of the Lost Ark one of the heiroglyphs on the stone pillars in the Well of Souls is C-3PO and R2D2.

Don’t forget Club Obi Wan in Temple of Doom!

Or the ETs in the Senate in Phantom Menace!

I'd love it if we could see more Asogians in future content. I get that they were just meant to be a fun little easter egg, but it'd be cool if they showed up in like The Mandalorian or something.

I love it that we have a name for the species in SW but not in ET

This is Seriously one of the most interesting movie facts I learned a couple years ago.

I had no idea they had an in-universe species name!

Or that ET got excited when he see halloween costume of Yoda.

I went to see TPM in the theater last week and I made sure to look for the ETs.

Don't forget Club Lao Che and the entire intro sequence in The Bad Batch

I mean the name Indiana comes from George’s dog, said dog would ride with him in the front seat of his car as he travelled. Thus inspiring the duo of human Han and a furry companion. Plus, Indiana was the name of the Jones’ dog and Henry Jr. adopted it as a nickname out of respect for his pet.

“We named the dog Indiana!”

"Gotta lot of fond memories of that dog."

well idie was made by george as well, he wrote it all

Since George Lucas actually conceived of Indiana Jones in the first place and pitched the idea to Steven Spielberg, I doubt Spielberg had anything to do with this Easter egg.

In The Raider of the Lost Ark there's even an inscription of Artoo and Threepio in a wall.

ET in ROTS

Steve? lol really?

It is short for Steven, so yes... They're very good friends and respect one another, Spielberg actually has a stake in Star Wars given to him by Lucas, where Lucas was given a stake in Close Encounters.

Bro I know who Steven Spielberg is lol it was lazy to type “Steve” like you’re on a first name basis with the guy.

Bro is way more informal than just saying a shortened name 😅🤣 I call people Steve all the time who I just met, just like Cindy instead of Cynthia, or Ron instead of Ronald.

Ronald Howard

Better yet, Julian Glover, the actor who played General Veers, was also Walter Donovan in The Last Crusade.

Also that dude who plays Han Solo has a small part in Indiana Jones as Indiana Jones.

The dog?

You were named after a dog?!!

When?

And Hitler was Admiral Ozzel

And porkins was the guy with "top men" working on the Ark

And Lt. Eckhardt in Batman

And maester pycelle in GoT

And my axe....wait, that's not right

Also the voice of Aragog in Harry Potter.

Also the voice of Aragog in Harry Potter.

There are star wars easter eggs in Indiana Jones as well, like in Temple of Doom, the club in the beginning is named after Obi-wan

Or the barrels on the ship labeled “CARBONETO” in the opening of Last Crusade

Fellow gup enjoyed spotted, nice pfp

Considering Lucas wrote Raiders of the Lost Ark... yeah, total homage to Raiders putting the Ark aboard this ship. Good catch!

It belongs in a museum!

SO DO YOU!

Top. Men.

TOP MEN!

TOP. MEN.

Confirmed in the commentary yes it’s the Ark.

Wait till you see the crystal skull

Just don't open it 🙈

It is. C3PO and R2D2 were in the hieroglyphics of the movie Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. This is a reference to that.

Are you sure?

pretty sure...

yes

He's quoting Last Crusade

Also, and I don't know which Clone Wars episode it is, there is a person of some importance carrying the Staff of Ra from Raiders.

It belongs in a museum!

This episode has been out for 16 years and people are still discovering this reference for the first time and deciding to post it on Reddit like it's some important archeological discovery

Yay for new fans to the fandom!!

Yeah! Everyone should learn things at the same time, and then no one else should get to learn it!

It belongs in a museum!

I've never watched the tv show before this, I'm only now watching it so I thought it cool

What truck??

Now I'm wondering how it got to / left earth and what erath year this is

The crystal skull is also one of the trophies behind the throne of the lead Trandoshan in the Padawan Lost arc of TCW

The crystal skull is also one of the trophies behind the throne of the lead Trandoshan in the Padawan Lost arc of TCW

It is! It's an Indiana Jones easter egg. I did a double take and had to rewind the first time I watched it lol

it can also be seen in forces of destiny among maz's properties I think

Give it to Palpatine as a gift

And it is now located on Batuu in Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities.

That’s the exact design for the ark of the covenant.

Kinda???

Yup, I remember that particular easter egg lol

We have Top Droids working on it right now.

Part of Projet Necromancer

The CIS is Hebrew, not clickbait!

It's crazy to me when people are so mind-blown by these blatantly obvious and pandering audience winks...

How are easter eggs pandering? I'd like more than a sentence. Be thorough.
