: I have just read Joseph Campbell's "The Hero with a Thousand Faces." This book details the pattern in a journey of a hero throughout different cultures in myths and things. I know that Lucas used some of Campbell's ideas for the "Star Wars" movies, but does Indy fit the hero pattern?

While Indy's a hero, I don't think he fits the pattern. In fact, he goes against the pattern by reconsiling with his father rather than killing him. Of course, Indy's forte is the quest...

PS It's nice to see folks still reading Campbell.
