How George Lucas’ Dog Inspired Chewbacca
George Lucas told The New York Times, “I wanted to stay away from sci-fi names like Zenon and Zorba. They had to sound native and there was an alignment between their name and their culture.” Han Solo ( Han Solo)harrison ford) and Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) names that don’t look too Earth-like to viewers, but connect the galaxy to real life in a tangible way. “Vader” means “father” in Dutch, heralding the reveal of Vader’s character.

In the thirteenth and final issue Star Wars Galaxy Magazinebefore it becomes star wars galaxy collectorGeorge Lucas wrote: “I had an Alaskan Malamute when I was writing this movie. A very sweet dog, and she always sat next to me when I was writing. When I was driving around , she would sit in the front seat.

How Did George Lucas’ Dogs Inspire Indiana Jones?
“I think I hit a Wookiee in the back” is a quote from Thank you 1138, which was later used by Lucas as the name for the Chewbacca species.

The dog’s name is Indiana.Yep, Wookiees inspired other people too indiana jones!after success star warsit’s safe to say that Lucas revived a once-forgotten genre originally created by flash gordon and similar works from the 1950s.But now, with the help of a friend steven spielbergLater, Lucas also set his sights on another genre—the treasure-hunting adventurer of the 1930s.
In January 1978, Lucas and Spielberg sat down and finally Empire Strikes Back screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan develop his ideas Movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark”. Their recordings, which have been transcribed and are available online, detail how the trio conceived each photo. The name Indiana is first mentioned by Lucas, who alludes to the hero’s lover who runs an American bar and hotel in rural Nepal. He quotes “Rick’s Place” Casablanca As inspiration, Kasdan asked, “Do you have the man’s name?” “I did it for our leader,” George said, to which Spielberg commented, “I hate this, but go ahead. “Indiana Smith. It has to be unique. It’s a character. Very American. He was born in Indiana. (…) Or Jones. Then people can call him Jones.” Although Lucas’ dog It’s never mentioned, but it’s clear why, out of all US states, the first thing that comes to mind is the name of their hero.
Raiders of the Lost Ark was also inspired by Sean Connery, who would later play his father
Indiana Jones may have been named after George Lucas’ dog, but his character has been inspired by countless heroes.Creator’s past matinee serials and pulp magazines are incorporated into the production indiana jones, including Alan Quarterman, Professor Challenger, and of course 007 himself, James Bond. In the sequel, indiana jones and Temple of DoomIndy appeared at the casino table wearing a white tuxedo and red carnations, as made famous in the first Bond film Dr No starring Sean Connery. In the third film, Connery himself was cast as Indy’s father, Henry Jones.It’s a meta-joke because it was copied in a Bond parody Austin Powers: Gold Member It was also inspired by the movies of the 60s michael caine. Kane joins the cast for the third installment of the series as Austin’s father, referring to the fact that there would be no Austin without Kane (mike myers).

When Sara (John Rhys Davis) quarreling father and son asked: “Excuse me, what does that always mean? The ‘junior’?” Connery’s Henry replied: “That’s his name. Henry Jones Jr.” “I like Indiana” , grunted Indy, and Henry retorted, “We’ll name the dog Indiana!” Finally, with this line of dialogue, Lucas was able to bring the whole idea to fruition. Not many dogs claim to be the inspiration for two of the silver screen’s most iconic characters, but Indiana Lucas, the Malamute, certainly can. The scene continues to cement the reference as Salah laughs, “Dog? You’re named after a dog?” “I have so many fond memories of that dog,” explains Indy, This is also Lucas’ explanation. His companion and canine friend Indiana impressed the filmmaker, and the filmmaker immortalized the “good boy” in a way few dog owners can.
