Is it polite to serve Crystal Light out of a Crystal Skull? Does the star of “When Harry Met Sally” have a Crystal brain inside his crystal skull? Can Jawajames make any lamer puns about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?
Several bits of news from around the Indyverse may answer these questions.. or more importantly, provide real information:

This article on starwars.com gives an in-depth tour of disc 1 of the first volume of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones (aka The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles) DVD set. You might note that the second part of the episode (taking place in Tangiers) never aired on TV, as it was filmed after the show left the airwaves, and bridging part that connects the two halves.. filmed in Tunisia in 1997, during the production of The Phantom Menace. Also, 4 documentaries on archaeology, the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, T.E. Lawrence, and slavery.
A copy of the official release describing the whole set, along with some more box art and disc art is here on starwars.com.
So will there be in-depth articles on all 12 discs? Stay tuned.
The official press release about Volume One of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones has a breakdown of the 12 disc set – it covers 7 episodes and 38 companion documentaries, with interviews with all sorts of people providing insight into the historical context of the show.

TVShowsOnDVD.com has got the box art for Volume 1 of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, which are now apparently being called The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones. I guess if they could re-name Raiders of the Lost Ark to include Indy’s name, we might have expected the re-naming of the Young Indy show to include “Adventure.”
Coming out October 23rd!
Volume 1 of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, which comes out on DVD on October 23rd, will have 12 discs of material. In this article on TVShowsOnDVD.com, some of the probable contents are discussed, including companion historical documentaries about the subjects of different episodes, interactive games and timelines, etc.
Fans of Indiana Jones should mark their calendars for October 23, 2007 as the release date for the first of three DVD sets for the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (shown on TV in 1992-1993). Paramount Home Entertainment will release Volume 1 in October, with Volumes 2 and 3 released sometime later, raising hype for Indy IV. I was a big fan of the YIJC, as I was about his age when the show aired, taking Indy through many adventures around the world, and meeting historical figures during his travels.
And speaking of the fourth installment of the man with the hat and the whip, Rotten Tomatoes has some speculation as to the plot of Indy IV.
In addition to Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed, the History Channel acquired a series of 94 never-before-seen documentaries based on the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. They will premiere on History.com later this year.
