In March of 1992, George Lucas along with Lucasfilm
and ABC first released The Young Indiana Jones
Chronicles TV show to audiences accross America.
The show centered around the life of Indiana Jones
before the motion pictures. As the show began,
we were introduced to a 10-year-old Indy (played
by Corey Carrier) and then moved on to Indy at age
16 (played by Sean Patrick Flanery). Throughout
the Young Indy Chronicles, Indy interacted
with many interesting characters, dangerous villains
and a number of historical figures, which included
Howard Carter, General George Patton, Teddy Roosevelt,
Albert Schweitzer and T.E. Lawrence. While
the Young Indy could never quite recapture
the magic of the original Indiana Jones films, it
did give us a look at the life of Indiana Jones
before he became a man. Then in 1999 with
the re-release of the Indiana Jones trilogy on VHS,
12 chapters of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles
were released on VHS. Lucasfilm is currently
hard at work producing a complte Young Indy
DVD collection, due out sometime in 2007.
