Why You Should Check Out the Indiana Jones Expanded Universe
It doesn’t seem like we ever get a new installment in the Indiana Jones franchise without a period of long development and creative indecision. Following the mixed response to 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the possibility of a fifth installment was left up in the air.
This was a great way to start off a prequel series of novels; seeing a younger version of Indy gave authors a chance to play around with a character who was less confident and had more time to question his morals.
Both Star Wars and Indiana Jones had a Marvel series that ran in between installments in their respective trilogies; these fun micro-adventures showed Indy’s exploits in between the films and tied up some of the loose ends that fans were wondering about. He even recovers the Golden Idol that had eluded him in the opening moments of Raiders of the Lost Ark, only to have it once again snatched away from him.
'The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles' Gave New Life to the Franchise Arguably, the most exciting installment in the Indiana Jones extended universe was the highly underrated ABC adventure series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Produced by George Lucas and future Star Wars prequels producer Rick McCallum, the series showed both a young and adolescent Indy as they travel the world and witness some of the major historical events of the early 20th century.
