The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles into the 2008 feature film "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". A number of actors connected to the Indiana Jones films and/or George Lucas's "Star Wars" franchise made guest appearances. Harrison Ford appeared as a middle-aged Indy (age 50) in the episode "Young Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Blues", which aired in March 1993. Paul Freeman, who played Rene Belloq in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", portrayed Frederick Selous in a couple of episodes, while Roshan Seth, who played Chattar Lal in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", played a North African sheikh in
Indiana Jones (franchise) Atomic Ants". David Koepp continued on from there, giving his script the subtitle "Destroyer of Worlds", based on the Robert Oppenheimer quote. It was changed to "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", as Spielberg found this a more inviting title which actually named the plot device. Koepp wanted to depict the character of Mutt as a nerd, but Lucas refused, explaining he had to resemble Marlon Brando in "The Wild One"; "he needs to be what Indiana Jones' father thought of [him] – the curse returns in the form of his own son – he's everything a father can't stand".
