Why George Lucas Made "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" a TV Series Instead of Films
By
Noah Villaverde
Crusty in the right places. Worth the chew.
Summary
The article explains why George Lucas chose to make "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" as a television series rather than a movie franchise. Lucas felt the concept was "so big and sprawling" that it couldn't be contained in a film format. The show followed a young Indiana Jones traveling the world and meeting historical figures, allowing for an episodic structure that better suited the expansive educational and adventure-driven vision Lucas had for the character's backstory.
