Comments: Created by George Lucas and Steven Spielburg. Harrison Ford was the original, thirtysomething Indy, with Corey Carrier and Sean Patrick Flannery playing the two younger Indy's in the TV show. River Phoenix played 12 year old (!) Indy in the flashback sequence of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
In Egypt in 1908, the original episode of Young Indiana Jones saw Dimitrios escape with the Golden Jackal, setting up the link to the Mexico episode where the teenage Indy finally catches up with the killer of his friend. However, James Thomas wrote to me noting "that was the ending to the original version of the episode aired in 1992. In 1996, George Lucas filmed a new scene to edit that episode into a TV movie. I that version, Lawrence catches Dimitrios by pulling him of a horse, and rolling him down a sand-bank! Now, you have two choices to the end of that segment: Either the one you have already got, or the newly filmed one."
Most of the time line is taken from the "World of Indiana Jones" game.
