Young Indiana Jones


June 9th, 2010 by David

You’re all thinking “What?”.  Well in the early nineties George Lucas made two seasons of a Young Indy.  Well the first season was slow-moving so the second season they had Indy in World War One.

I just started watching the box set of the episodes and while the episodes themselves are hit and miss the extras on the DVD’s are amazing.  they say that no film has ever really capture the first war.  The DVD’s each have 3 documentaries about different parts of the war.  I enjoy history but I didn’t know the many details surrounding the War.  Through the docs.  I have learned a lot, W.W. 1 was a very brutal campaign.  The french lost over a million soldiers which is more than the americans lost in W.W. 1 and W.W. 2 combined.

They also have many docs. about the war in africa and how the germans were the first to use African troops, what?  that’s what I said. In each episode Young Indy comes across all these historical figures and then the special features explains their real life.  Fore anyone interested in W.W. 1 this is a must see.
