Indiana Jones

Doctor **Indiana Jones** was a Human male archaeologist from Earth. He was well-known for his renowned expeditions. He was also known by the nickname, **Indy**, and by his full name, **Henry Walton Jones, Junior**. At one point in time, Jones was taken to the planet Xantar by the alien "Bug-Eyes," where the doctor became frustrated with the lack of artifacts. "Bug-Eyes" later brought the Jedi Luke Skywalker to the planet to serve as a friend to Jones. Skywalker instead suggested that the alien take Jones back to his home, which "Bug-Eyes" agreed to do. Jones bore an uncanny resemblance to Rebel Alliance hero Han Solo.

At some point during his adventures, Jones recovered the droid K-7R3, reprogramming him to be his partner and co-pilot. After this, K-7R3 swore a life debt to Jones, agreeing to become his loyal partner and co-pilot.

## History

### Xantar encounter

Jones's native homeworld was Earth with many oceans and forests. The planet was very primitive compared to the rest of the galaxy. He often traveled on expeditions on his homeworld and in the wider galaxy, using a Luxury 3000 space yacht as his personal starship during intergalactic travels. On one occasion, Jones was taken by an alien he called "Bug-Eyes" to the planet Xantar via starship, with the promise that Jones would find priceless artifacts. On arrival, Jones instead grew frustrated navigating the planet's swampy terrain, becoming lonely and depressed. Bug-Eyes tried to improve Jones' mood by finding him a companion, which the alien found in the Jedi trainee Luke Skywalker, who Bug-Eyes brought to Xantar to meet Jones. As they landed, Bug-Eyes briefed Skywalker about Jones' disposition, at which point the archaeologist arrived complaining about his situation.

Jones introduced himself to Skywalker, and asked if the Jedi was some kind of test pilot, which led Skywalker to deduce that Jones came from a primitive world. The Jedi suggested that Bug-Eyes take Jones home, and the alien agreed, considering that a mistake had been made in taking Jones aboard. Prior to departing in the starship, Skywalker commented to Jones that the doctor resembled his friend, Han Solo. At one point Jones visited Lotho Minor. At some point before 3 ABY, Jones entered the service of Lady Qi'ra and Crimson Dawn, recovering mysterious artifacts for her.

### Seen on Station 2341

Aboard the Haven-class medical station Station 2341 shortly after the fall of the Galactic Empire, Indiana Jones was seen running down a hallway as Boba Fett was trying to get across and attempting to shoot his quarry, Jar Jar Binks. After Jones ran past Fett, the bounty hunter tried to get across the hall only to get run over by the huge boulder Jones was running from. Jones later departed the medical station before it was destroyed when Jar Jar accidentally pressed its self-destruct button.

### Helping Qi'ra

Sometime later, Jones was seen helping Qi'ra find the Crystal Cave on Naboo. Unfortunately, Boba Fett arrived to capture Qi'ra for Zorba Desilijic Tiure. Jones and Qi'ra fought Fett in a fierce battle. Ultimately, Fett was successful in the fight after knocking Jones into a lake and then launching a wrist rocket at Qi'ra, knocking her blaster out of her hands. Bruised and battered, Qi'ra had no choice but to surrender herself to the feared bounty hunter. Fett took Qi'ra to Zorba's palace in the Southern Rim aboard *Slave I*. Jones had managed to climb out of the lake he fell into, and would go on a successful rescue mission to free Qi'ra. He enlisted the help of Gil Rowan and Mint Yardley. During the ensuing battle in Zorba's palace, Jones fought Boba and managed to defeat the bounty hunter by using his whip to knock Fett against a wall, causing his jetpack to misfire. Jones and Qi'ra later escaped aboard Jones' yacht, dropping Rowan and Yardley back on the Island and traveling to Niamos. On Niamos, Jones and Qi'ra stayed in a hotel during their visit.

### Finding the Crystal Skull

At some point, Jones crash landed on PM-1203 after getting shot down by pirates, resulting in him getting stranded there for a few days as his Luxury 3000 space yacht had been destroyed in the crash. He later teamed up with his old enemy, Boba Fett, after the latter had been hired by Hondo Ohnaka to retrieve the Crystal Skull. Fett, who had contacted Jones for help, picked him up from PM-1203. Eventually, during the mission, they would make amends with each other. Travelling to Utapau aboard Fett's *Slave I*, they started the search for the skull, which was believed to be inside the old Separatist Core Ship, the *Unlimited Projection*, but the two were captured by Amani nomads.

The Amanin took both Jones and Fett to the *Projection*, after taking away their weapons. After they arrived in the core ship, the Amani leader greeted them, and said he knew Jones well from "many stories." After Jones toyed with him, the Amanin brought them into the *Unlimited Projection*'s interiors. As they went through the cargo hold, Fett and Jones, both at gunpoint, talked about when the signal was to be given for them to attack their captors. After they arrived at the Crystal Skull's location, they turned the tables on the Amanin. Fett punched one of them in the face, sending him tumbling to the floor. The Amani raised their weapons, ready to attack. They ordered Jones and Fett to drop their weapons, but only Jones complied. As his pistol fell to the ground, it went off once it hit the ground, killing one of the Amanin. Jones and Fett continued their attack.

On the way out, Jones grabbed the Crystal Skull. As the Amanin, backed by Sugi enforcers, pursued Jones and Fett, the two split up. Jones fled towards one of the hangars, pursued by Sugi and Amani warriors, some of them were riding vehicles that were stored inside the *Projection*. Jones took out his blaster, and blasted back at them, causing some of the vehicles to crash. After a long chase and skirmish, Jones discovered a UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft in a hangar he crashed into. As he started the U-wing, the energy and propellant shot out from the engines engulfed the Amanin directly behind the engine burning them alive. Jones escaped Utapau, but had totally forgot about Boba, and went to the planet Stobar, where Boba would arrive not much later.

After they went into Plop Dribble's and got some food and drinks, they argued over Jones leaving Fett behind. As soon as they finished arguing, they realized the Crystal Skull was gone. They saw a series of small footprints around where they had left the skull. They got to the landing area just in time to see a group of Jawas escaping in Jones' U-wing, which was named the *Bravo Adventurer*. Just before it took off, Fett fired a tracer onto its hull. This enabled Jones and Fett to track the ship, even through hyperspace. The two boarded *Slave I* and tracked the U-Wing through space, all the way to Lotho Minor.

When they arrived, Jones, having been to Lotho Minor before in the past, warned Fett about the many threats of the planet. As he mentioned the "fire-breathers," massive droids that incinerated garbage on the planet, the pair were encountered by some of the droids and had to get to safety. After they got away from the "fire-breathers," they ran into a group of fiercely territorial junkers, which Jones was not too keen about. As the pair moved further into the junkers' territory, the natives attacked. While Fett was able to handle most of the native scavengers with his various weaponry, Jones attacked one that was aiming at the unaware bounty hunter, by slapping his whip into his back, which made the junker miss his shot.

After Fett was finished with a good portion of the junkers, the remaining fled. Shortly afterward, acid rain began to fall and Jones and Fett tried to seek shelter. After a quick look around, Fett spotted a hut with cover, which both took refuge at. In the shelter, they found the Crystal Skull but no sign of the Jawas, as well as several dead bodies. The two then found the U-wing nearby, with Jones finding out that its name was the *Bravo Adventurer*. They left Lotho Minor and headed to Tatooine, with Fett flying *Slave I* and Jones flying the *Bravo Adventurer*.

### In the cantina

Sometime later, Jones was seen in Chalmun's Cantina, where he looked at Fett after the hunter had killed an Ithorian named Herf Nadon who had mocked Fett in the cantina about Fett's actions in a street fight Fett took part in and won the night before, which Jones was also a witness to. After Fett asked if anyone had anything else to say, Jones replied to the famed bounty hunter, saying they had nothing else to say. After that, Fett dismissed the crowd and allowed them to return to their drinks.

### Capture of Chattar Lal

In 7 ABY, Jones hired Boba Fett to capture Prime Minister Chattar Lal of Dilonexa XXIII, as he was allegedly a secret Sith cultist associated with the Sith Eternal. Ultimately, Fett was successful, capturing Lal, whom he later froze in carbonite, on Mustafar. This mission was and somewhat more difficult than previous missions Fett had taken, so he took a rest on Mustafar after capturing Lal. Eventually, Fett delivered Lal's carbonite slab to Jones and received his payment. Jones even jokingly questioned Fett about what had taken him so long on this job.

### Teth

After leaving Pagodon, Jones and K-7R3 flew the *Bravo Adventurer* into Wild Space. Suddenly, a large asteroid hurtled into the U-wing after they jumped out of hyperspace, damaging it. With no further option, Jones and Kay crashed the ship on Teth, the nearest planet. They discovered the U-wing was too damaged to be fixed at the moment, so they had to find another way off Teth. Something roared behind Kay and the two discovered that the rock is a jungle rancor.

The two fled and were pursued by the rancor, which awakened two other rancors. K-7R3 and Jones fled into a cave which the rancors were unable to reach. Jones asked how they were going to get out of this. Kay added by asking how they were going to get home since he could only see the parts of wrecked Rebel/Imperial ships and tanks left over from the Galactic Civil War.

Among the wreckage, Jones saw a TIE/sk x1 experimental air superiority fighter and an AT-ACT walker. He decided they would build their way out and told Kay to run out and draw the rancors' attention. Kay reluctantly drew the rancors away from the cave by leading them on a chase with the offer of bantha bread. In the meantime, Jones built an Ugly out of a pair of S-foils, the TIE striker's wings and the head of the AT-ACT.

Jones realized this is what he needed. One of the rancor caught up with K-7R3 and was about to devour him when Jones flew by un his AT-ACT-TIE striker-X-wing Ugly hybrid and spirited him to safety and away from Teth. Jones later lamented that he once had a gorgeous U-wing starfighter but now all he had was this Ugly. However, a human woman offered to buy it for 10,000 credits. Jones accepted her offer.

Eventually, Kay and Jones recovered the *Bravo Adventurer* and continued using it.

### Joining Boba Fett's criminal empire

Jones and K-7R3 landed in Docking Bay 87 in Mos Eisley after a mission. The owner of the hangar, Dr'xureretue, told Jones that someone was looking for him, but he locked them out. However, the unwanted visitor, Fennec Shand, appeared and offered a job as muscle for Boba Fett, who had become the Daimyo of Tatooine after killing Bib Fortuna; as there was a possible upcoming gang war against the Pykes. Jones agreed to join and help with Fett's criminal empire, given his past association and partnership with him; though he would not play an active role in the events that were to come, though he did participate in the Battle for Mos Espa from afar, helping to drive out any remaining Pyke forces in Mos Espa. Jones and K-7R3 would then take part in the Second battle for Mos Espa as muscle for Fett and his forces.

## Personality and traits

Indiana Jones was usually out exploring to find lost relics. In the opinion of Bug-Eyes, he was lonely, depressed and cynical. The doctor complained about the lack of artifacts on Xantar and the fact that he had to trawl through mud instead. Despite Bug-Eyes' opinion, Jones did have a partner and best friend in the form of former Imperial KX-series security droid K-7R3, whom he recovered from a junkyard prior to 9 ABY.

Additionally, Jones worked with the bounty hunter Boba Fett on several occasions after becoming good friends with him.

Jones' outdoor equipment typically consisted of a fedora, jacket, satchel, boots, bullwhip and a pistol. His weaponry made him a force to be reckoned with in combat. While he possessed some martial arts ability, Jones favored his fists in hand-to-hand combat, including a technique where he hit his opponent with the back of one hand before following up with a hook from the other, and was not above fighting dirty when he felt the need.

Jones was a light-skinned human with brown hair and green eyes, with, according to Luke Skywalker, a similar appearance to that of Solo.
