How about the fact that the evil, cunning Walter Donovan in none other than an AT-AT driver from Empire Strikes Back. And maybe I am just crazy or tired (or maybe I got them reversed), but I think he is also in the first Star Wars arguing with Darth Vader. Not really a reference to Star Wars exactly, but another borrowing I suppose.

Oh and don't forget how in Raiders, there is a heiroglyph portraying R2-D2 and C3PO in the Well of the Souls but I don't think it ever appears clearly on film. And the canyon where Indy aims to blow the ark up with a not-yet-in-reality-created bazooka is the same that ol R2 gets blasted by those pesky Jawas.

And is it just me or is Porkins from Star Wars (the chubby X-Wing fighter pilot) the same guy as the chubby Army Intelligence guy at the beginning and end of ROTLA? So much borrowing of talent over there at Lucasfilm!
