The LEGO Indiana Jones theme was released in 2008 and contained sets based on the Lucasfilm movies Indiana Jones. Each of the four Indiana Jones movies is its own subtheme and has at least two LEGO sets and all feature Indiana Jones searching for some priceless relic. The movies include Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade. The development of the Indiana Jones LEGO theme followed a similar process to other LEGO themes, with sets being designed by LEGO's team of designers in Billund, in consultation with franchise owner Lucasfilm. The theme also features in a video game series, LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures based on the original trilogy. The theme was discontinued in 2009. The Indiana Jones sets proved to be one of the most popular LEGO themes.
