Indy and Star Wars

[John McClane]

We all know that Donovan from "Last Crusade" was General Veers in "Empire Strikes Back" and Hitler also in Crusade was Admiral Ozzel in Empire. (What's with Crusade and Empire using the same actors?) I got one more, the Army intelligence guy that tells Indy about the Nazi Tannis dig in Raiders, the guy that at the end tells Indy "We've got top men working on it right now" and then repeats rather rudely, "top men." Well that is Porkins from the Battle of Yavin in Star Wars.

Does anyone know of other Star Wars-Indiana Jones tie-ins?

ummmm...

I think (please don't flame me if I'm wrong) that Harrison Ford played Indiana Jones in the Indiana Jones trilogy, and he also played Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy. Correct me if I'm wrong.

;)

Sorry...couldn't resist!

Very funny :D

Seriously though, aside from Donovan/General Veers, I didn't know of the rest. I don't know a lot about the SW world...I'm more of a casual fan.

From the latest rumors, we might be able to add Natalie Portman to the list after IV.

Well, Lucas is responsible for both...

     Judging by the cover, can Harrison Ford still play a 1950's Indy? :confused:
