Lego Indiana Jones  Lego "Indiana Jones (stylized as LEGO "Indiana Jones) is a Lego theme based on the "Indiana Jones" film franchise, licensed from Lucasfilm. The exclusive franchise (for the 'Construction Category Rights') was first announced in June 2007, and followed the successful Lego "Star Wars" franchise, also with Lucasfilm. The first set of products were launched in 2008, based upon two of the three earlier films ("Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Last Crusade"). Sets featuring scenes from the fourth film, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull", were released alongside the film, later in 2008. The "Temple of Doom" film was not featured until 2009, in a large set which re-created the mine-cart chase using new narrow-gauge Lego train track. The theme also features in a video game series. "" was released on June 3, 2008, based on the original trilogy. A sequel, called "", was released in November 2009, including scenes from the new "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" film, along with a level editor feature. A computer-animated short film, "Lego Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Brick", directed by Peder Pedersen, was also released on the official Lego site. It combines details from all four "Indiana Jones" films in one adventure. The development of the Indiana Jones Lego theme followed a similar process to other Lego themes, with sets being designed by Lego's team of designers in Billund, in consultation with franchise owner Lucasfilm. The inclusion of guns within the sets (including machine guns) was a cause of some internal controversy. Of the initial wave of sets released in 2008, Temple Escape (7623) was one of the biggest, and features the famous boulder chase scene from the opening sequence of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Measuring 53 cm long, the set included numerous 'booby traps' from the film, including shooting spears and tumbling rocks. As well as Indiana Jones himself, the set included minifigs of René Belloq and Satipo. Pilot Jock and his seaplane were also included as a late addition, with the Lego designer and Lucasfilm agreeing that they were an important addition to complete the scene (allowing Indy to escape). Two other medium-size sets released at the same time also featured scenes from the "Lost Ark" film. The Lost Tomb (7621) depicted a snake-filled tomb, which Indy must escape from, and Race for the Stolen Treasure (7622) depicted the chase scene from the film, with Indy riding a horse in pursuit of a truck.
