A star wars/Indiana Jones theory

[Representing_Tromba]

So, there is a theory that Indiana Jones and star wars are set in the same universe. Basically, R2 and C3P0 are in some hyroglyphs in raiders of the lost ark. There is also a non-canon comic where it is revealed that chewbacca is Bigfoot, Han Solo is killed by Native Americans, and Indiana Jones finds his corpse. This also being that ET is set in the same universe as both.

I have a personal theory that in the Indiana Jones/star wars universe, Moses is a force user who is trained by a force spirit(probably jedi or an iteration of the Father from star wars the clone wars even though he is technically dead). The ark contains a sith/jedi weapon. Also, the aliens from the crystal skull are ancient Sith spirits given a form of immortality bound to their own crystal skulls similar to the ancient Sith Yoda meets in the clone wars secret missions.

Anyways, thoughts on this theory? Does this work within star wars lore? Please don't make this about religion so we can stick within the rules of the forums.

Don't know, but isn't Star Wars canonically "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." you have to define what far, far away is...
is that beyond our closest galaxy, or just beyond the gas station at the end of the road.

Idk. The non-canon comic has han solo and chewy arrive on earth in the 1700s~ sooo. A long time ago could have been 300+ years. Also, far, far away doesn't mean that much for star wars when light speed is a thing and so many of them live for 500+ years. There's also the world between worlds now so that messes with stuff.

Indiana Jones is the player avatar that Han Solo uses when he play the VR videogame, Earth.

Doesn't Disney own them both now anyway?

On the same basis that Moses could've been a force user, could Jesus be the same? Genuinely not about religion. I promise.

In the universe in question, yes.

I am not that knowledgeable in Star Wars lore, but I believe the Jedi is a sect, basically a religion, not much of a cult, but they do have a form of faith or belief, right? I might be stretching, but chances were, the Jedi Order might as well have traced part of their history to ancient Earth with the religious community. In effect, a convergence of spirituality. Tell me I'm not reaching far, because I think I am onto something.

The Jedi are based on the Chinese Monastic Traditions as shown in Wu Xia films (i.e. "chop-socky" movies). The Force is Lucas's bare-bones understanding of some of the theories behind Martial Arts (especially the Buddhist-derived arts, like Chan/Zen Buddhism, the "father" of Wu-Shu, better known as Kung Fu). In the 90s, enough people listed their religion as "Jedi" on various census forms that it now has a semi-legal status as one, but it is just as real as the religion L. Ron Hubbard made up (and made millions off of before its ruling board booted him and, according to some rumors, had him killed).

I honestly thought Star Wars was what wushu would look like if it were in space. They were on step short of becoming a cultivation story IMO.
