Raiders of the Lost Ark 40th Anniversary tribute: Raiders of the Lost Darth!

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

It's hard to believe but Raiders of the Lost Ark, usually considered one of the greatest of all "modern" action movies is actually forty-years old this month! With Harrison Ford STILL playing Indiana Jones after all of these years (with James Mangold shooting INDY 5 right now) we decided to give Raiders (our pick for perhaps the greatest adventure movie of all time) the mash-up treatment with another. Lucasfilm classic, Star Wars! Behold, Fabrice Mathieu's brilliant mash-up RAIDERS OF THE LOST DARTH!

Speaking of Indiana Jones, I actually picked up the 4K version of the series recently and was blown away by the restoration. The movies all look gorgeous, and boy oh boy, do they hold up well. I loved revisiting them. Raiders really is one of the greatest films ever made, while Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is probably the most underrated follow-up ever (no idea why some don't care for it). And Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade – perfection. Of course, the series did come with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but lets just ignore that one for now!
