The article explores how George Lucas’s dog inspired two iconic characters in his films. George Lucas’s first film, THX 1138, was not well received, but his subsequent film, American Graffiti, showcased his ability to appeal to mainstream audiences. After multiple rejections, Star Wars was finally picked up by 20th Century Fox, but the original script was considered unshootable. Lucas drew inspiration from real-life events to ground the story. The article then reveals that Lucas’s Alaskan Malamute dog inspired Chewbacca, and later, Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones was also influenced by heroes from past pulp magazines and serials, and even had a meta-joke with Sean Connery, who played his father in the film.
