Rob MacGregor wrote the novelization of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and we discuss how he added depth to that story than you don’t see in the film.
Then we talk about the 6 original Indiana Jones novels that he wrote at a breakneck speed, 4 months apiece.
He tells a funny story about how two Indiana Jones fans were pestering him with mail!
We discuss how he had an influence on the creation of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles but never got credit.
He tells us how George Lucas sent instructions on what Rob was allowed to write in the Indiana Jones universe. He had to fight Disney to get his due royalties once Lucasfilm was sold to them.
Indiana Jones has a vision quest in Rob’s novels, and it turns out Rob based that on a personal experience.
He’s also written some significant nonfiction about the paranormal, true life stories about everything from alien encounters to contacting the dead. Incidentally, he hosts a podcast called the Mystical Underground, which also covers these topics, and it’s a bit of an understatement to call him an expert.
