For those who are interested in the creation of memorable characters, here is a link to the transcript of the original 1978 story conference between George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Lawrence Kasdan in preparation of Raiders of the Lost Ark :

It is a long PdF document (125 pages) and adresses all the ideas that they (especially Lucas) threw in to get the story going, starting with the characteristics of Indiana Jones himself.

Have a good read !

Someone already did that one. Don't you read threads before posting in them? And it's not like it's a tiny post buried between two TextWall Posts or anything. It's just right there! Shame on you!
