Fictional character
Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones Jr. is the title character and protagonist of the Indiana Jones franchise. George Lucas created the character in homage to the action heroes of 1930s film serials. The character first appeared in the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark, to be followed by Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in 1984, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles from 1992 to 1996, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in 2023.

Willard Huyck
Occupation
- Screenwriter
- Director

As friends of Lucas, the Huycks were asked to read the first draft of The Star Wars, and give their opinions. They were also asked to provide minor dialogue revisions to the fourth draft just before shooting began in 1976. George invited many close friends, including the Huycks, to the screening of his rough cut to get their feedback. The Huycks' opinion of the movie was rather dubious.
Their last name is pronounced "hike." The character Vanden Willard was named after Huyck.
