Who knew that Raiders of the Lost Ark would launch a franchise that would span four decades starring the same actor?
Raiders of the Lost Ark definitely raises some questions. Like how tall is Indiana? Who’s setting up all these booby traps? How are the characters fast-travelling so efficiently whenever the scene ends?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Raiders of the Lost Ark!

"So he calls his bluff and eats a little bug" The best part of the whole movie.
What? 🤨
What? 🤨
In reality it was unscripted. The bug landed on the actor while shooting and he decided that eating it fit the character the best; plus they would have had to restart the shot if he swatted it away.
@@HariSeldon913Thanks Captain Obvious!
@@HariSeldon913 Sadly he didn't eat it. It just looks that way. Very common misconception
I love the moment where Screenwriter Guy tells Producer Guy to shut up, looks at his script realizing he had a good point, and then just tells Producer Guy to shut up again. Sometimes you just need another person’s perspective to think, “Wow, how did I overlook that?” I appreciate the mixing up of the gags.
Also, the gag is, "Now you've pointed it out to me, I'm still not going to change it."
Actually of all the ridiculous things in the movie, that was the one that actually was explained by the script. Indy scours the floor and has his own notebook as reference because clearly what day of the year will determine where you put the staff so it will properly show the location of the well of souls.
Everything else was totally absurd but that one was actually addressed.
That's one of my favorite gags too, like when producers guy asks a question and screenwriter guy just says, "I don't know." Literally the only person who would know would be screenwriter guy lolol
The biggest thing is that this whole adventure was completely unnecessary. The Ark was just going to melt Nazis. If anything they were saving Hitler.
Also Indiana Jones didn't actually accomplishhis mission. The Nazis got the Ark. It just all worked out because failing his mission was the best thing to do. But he could have literally just done nothing.
(Edit) OH cool he did address this a little at the end. I thought I was the only one. 'Thank goodness Indiana Jones was there to fail to stop the Nazis'.
all of which goes to show that if you have a movie with great characters told in the way that only movies can, gaping plot holes don't matter. We're on a ride, and we're fine with suspension of disbelief.
Now we get terrible stories, shown poorly in dark convoluted CGI scenes full of characters you couldn't care less about. Blech.
The double 'hey shut up' was really great
Yeah, that one hurt.
And his own reaction to himself was so natural!
The first double- "hey shut up" we've seen?
Not really
To be fair, I always assumed that when Indy dusts off the floor with all the holes that the staff COULD go into, it was indicating where to put it at different times of the year. Which is why he takes a min to consult his fathers notes and count out the various holes. That's how I interpreted the scene anyway.
Absolutely!
Yes, and when Indy’s doing that looking & dusting, you can see the hole where the bad guys put their pole on a different day (it’s hollowed out, with no dust). The six foot (72 inches) pole minus one foot (aka a “Kaddam”) remains as a scriptwriting goof however.
@@rex-racerSo Indy really is 4'10
@@rex-racer I guess it might have been a cubit in the original script (Egyptians preferred to use that unit instead of a foot) which is about 52 cm (a little over 20" for the yanks). That _kind_ _of_ matches up with what's shown on-screen, though the staff is a bit short for 5 cubits. They also had a "small cubit" which was only 45 cm, five of those is almost an exact match to the pole. They have likely replaced it with foot to make it less confusing for the audience but didn't change the number of units.
Hey, shut up.
I love that Temple of Doom takes place before Raiders. Indy sees a chanting shaman pull the still-beating heart out of a man's chest, then uses a chant to set some magical stones on fire. Then a few years later, Marcus tells him to beware of the possible power of the Ark, and Indy is just like, "Magic isn't real, dumbass."
heyshutup 😁
Wait Temple of Doom takes place before Raiders? How did i miss that?
@@sashaborokowski8029 Apparently this is true!
@@sashaborokowski8029 It only comes up in the beginning when the year is onscreen briefly.

This movie series is clearly named ‘Hannah Montana’.

Fun fact: the submarine used in Colorado Miller was from the great film Das Boot. And the reason there are scenes in La Rochelle with it is because Das Boot partially takes place in La Rochelle.
Funner fact: Indy was able to survive the submarine trip because he used Rose’s door from Titanic.
Das Boot is goated. The TV show sucks, though.
@@FaceBack2122 Yeah, it is one of my favourite movies. Never seen the show though, do not plan to either.
I actually did not know that, but it explains why the sub was so perfectly recreated. Hard to overstate what a great movie "Das Boot" is, and how authentic it is.

I’m working on my Masters in Paleolithic Archaeology. One of my professors likes to say, “to learn what it’s like to do fieldwork, watch Raiders of the Lost Ark. Then do the opposite.”
Even so, I adore these movies and seeing them lovingly parodied is a joy.
That's hot did you and your professor kiss on the lips?
Indy's field was more Pedophilic Archaeology, important distinction there...
I have been waiting for this pitch for years, but the "Which Hitler?" joke made it all worth it.
There was a great 80s cop show called Hill Street Blues, and one of the episodes featured a standup comic named Vic Hitler. He refused to change his name, and as I recall, couldn't figure out why the crowds he performed for were so nasty to him.

0:53 I have the utmost respect for all those generational arrow reloaders who never fail to reset the titty traps for the next adventurer who needs to learn the power of friendship.
''Nobody wants to see an 80-year old in a movie like this'' is the best line of the episode.
Yeah well Christopher Lee was in his late 70s-early 80s in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Star Wars Episodes II and III. He was also in his 90s in the first and third Hobbit movie, bucko.
@@EpicJoshua314 that's why he played a wizard instead of an adventurer that has to endlessly keep running, jumping and fighting.
(Not a stab at Christopher Lee. The guy's a legend and his performance was remarkable, especially at his age)
@@macvos Doesn’t matter. He still played Count Dooku at the ages of 79 and 82 respectively (and 85 in The Clone Wars movie), so if those movies came out today people would be whining about how an 80 year old was casted in a major role. Just be grateful that these actors can still pull off impressive performances at the ages of 80 onwards.
And dude, we aren’t getting an Indy 6 or a TV series to continue Indy’s story after this; rest assured we won’t see an old Indy ever again except in comics and the Young Indy Chronicles so I don’t see why a big deal has to be made about this.
@@EpicJoshua314 if you read my comment, you'd see I only have high regards for his performance in LotR (and also Star Wars). I'm definitely not against casting old actors. I just think they're a bad choice for movies where they are the main protagonist and expected to be running, jumping and fighting all the time, because you'd have to use body doubles or CGI, or limit the action. It would be better to make it a different kind of movie, where story and acting play a bigger role. But then it wouldn't be Indiana Jones. With LoTR and Star Wars, this is tackled by using magic/the Force instead of making him do backflips and karate.
@@macvos Well, despite Harrison Ford’s age he was still able to run, jump, fight, punch… do many stunts… even in the WW2 scenes. As I stated in my comment that’s pretty impressive because how many actors in their early 70s even can do the stunts that Ford and Lee could do in DoD and Star Wars respectively? Plus this was Indy’s last adventure, let alone on screen, meaning that we won’t see an old Indy again except for in comics and the Young Indy Chronicles.

“Wouldn’t it have to be on a specific day too?”

It had 365 "slots"?
@@keeganshigh You'd only need 182.5 slots.
@@redskullz1249no, because the sun makes a figure 8 in the sky. You need a different slot for every day of the year.

The day of the year thing is actually addressed in the original script. The writers did a great job showing that Indy had to find the correct placement for the staff to ensure it would show the correct location. They even included the disturbed area where the Nazis had placed their copy of the staff just days before.

I once saw this film with a live orchestra.. one of the most incredible experiences of my life ❤
Our symphony does those too. Always a great time. 🙂
I love the return of the catchphrase “I don’t know!” We haven’t heard that in a while. Always makes me laugh.
The whole staff height thing is even funnier. So, the old man said the staff was "six kadam high", which Salla then said was 72 inches (or, you know, six feet). However, the old man then flips the medallion over and says "take back one kadam...". So, really, the staff should have been 5 feet tall, and Indiana Jones like 4 feet tall.
Really elementary oversight
@@g00nther Or underheight!
Spielberg should have cast Tom Cruise as Indiana Jones in that case.
@@paul8172 You do know Cruise is 5'7, right?

Raiders proves that gigantic plot holes and logical inconsistencies don't matter if the movie is fun and entertaining enough.
The movie was based on old adventure serials which were absolutely *packed* with plot holes, so it's kind of what they were going for anyway.
I half expected a callback to the "titty trap" sketch when producer guy asks who resets the traps
"This thing is full of booby.."
"Wow"
"...traps"
I nearly died laughing💀💀💀
Booby traps are tight!
Similar levels of disappointment, for sure.
Ryan’s the funniest guy on TH-cam by far💀💀💀
I cried.
Only if this was posted on Tuesday!
2:51 Regarding the angle of the sun changing each day, in the film you can see a grid of holes for where to place the staff. You have to choose the correct hole based on which day of the year it is. Indiana uses a different hole from the one the bad guys used a couple days before.
and, their staff was too tall... :)
Using a different hole from the bad guys is tight!
Hey shut up! 😂
@eclipsehorse8693 I am the monarch of the seeeeea, I am the ruler of the qu-
Thank you for covering this so I didn’t have to. It must have been really hard to come up with such a concise explanation.
2:50 - Excellent question about the sunbeam moving every day of the year! This is answered onscreen, albeit subtly. When Indiana enters the room, he first inspects the grid of peg-holes on the floor. These are a calendar of dates, telling him where to position the staff for the current day. #Astronomy #Horology - PS: The staff is said by the astronomer to be 5 kadam high, which is 11⅔ feet (not 5 feet, as Sallah erroneously says).
1:08 Mick Jagger: I agree.
My uncle is a set builder and Indy was one of his first movies, he built the boulder, as well as a lot of the props
Is or was?
Is he still working in the industry?
Building boulders is TIGHT!
That's cool!
Sure he did. And my uncle is Steve Jobs. 🙄🙄
@@dangerousdays2052 Is or was?
Isn't the Peruvian jungle the same place where that lady's mother was researching spiders right before she died?
I get the feeling that if Raiders' lead character was female then a lot of people (men) would be complaining about the "bad writing".
Yeah, Paddington Bear comes from there too. It's pretty busy.
Maybe the spiders that drop down on Indie and his friend's backs were the spiders she was researching!
Disney: "Oooh, I see a new joined cinematic universe script in the making!"

Dakota Johnson’s mother
Tell him about the part where a sealed underground tomb has a “moving floor” that’s actually a huge pile of snakes that can go years w/o food and water. They just slither around waiting for someone to rappel down toward them from above, then make hissing sounds at any cameras doing a closeup. 🐍
“Guess not loser!”
“What?”
I love the pure shock in his voice. Favorite part of the video.
In case you were wondering the spike trap wasn't triggered by the light, Indy knew it was a plate on the floor, which is why you see him adjust his foot and step forward as his waves his hand, and doing it meant that the other guy was misled and that's what got him killed by the trap later, he didn't notice the plate, tried the light, and when it didn't work he careless stood on the plate thinking it was safe.
Thanks, Sheldon.
Oh, thank you, that actually helped me a lot.
Hey shutup...
Spielberg should have had Indy say that to Marion later in the movie verbatim. He's really not a very tight filmmaker.
So he suspected the other guy was gonna steal the artefact from him and was ready to trick him so that he would get killed if he were to do that? Pretty harsh.
"Dakota Johnson"

Sigh, wasn't anyone waiting to hear "Montana Wildhack" in there?
Those cliffs in Raiders were super weird, especially because ten seconds later they are driving by the Nile and crop irrigation. I think Egypt is very flat too.
There's mountainous terrain between the Nile and the Red Sea, and the Sinai peninsula has Egypt's highest mountains.
@PotrzebieConolly Maybe, but the real Tanis was discovered in the north-east of the Nile delta. Spielberg seems to like putting cliffs in odd places, like in Jurassic Park T-Rex pen!
I wanna know how we went from Egypt to the Sudan in ten minutes?! lol
Yeah, I wasn't commenting on the film's lack of accuracy. Just referring to the statement "Egypt is very flat". Egypt is indeed very flat in the area supposedly shown in the film, but Egypt isn't flat everywhere.
4:10 I’m so glad Ryan saw that and mentioned it 😂
"I have an adventure film for the whole family"
"Wholesome family adventure films are tight!"
"It has Nazis and faces getting melted off and a guy getting dismembered by a propeller blade..."
"What?!?"
We saw this as a family when I was young. My little brother was 5, and I remember my mother leaning over and whispering to him, "Look at the pretty red dots, it must be magic."
I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about the inappropriateness for kids of some of this movie.
That's back when we all accepted Nazis as being the bad guys. We thought that concept would remain universal.
@@paul8172 I'm glad people are realizing that maybe they weren't the baddies...
@@returnoftheredeye let me get off of that thang
The various holes in floor slab allow the staff to be placed at the correct location, no matter the day of the year. It's a complicated math problem that Indy figured out.
So what you are saying is that the staff went in a hole so he's even shorter?
wait i think this is part of the lego level
You could see him consult a book, probably an almanac or something, so Indy might not have had to do much calculating himself.
-According to Spielberg, Marion was 15 years old when she was with Indy. The movie was vague about how young of a child she was. I assumed she was 18 and but naive. And the naive part made her say she was a "child". I'm glad my mother and I didn't know that when I was a child, I think she would look at the movie differently, and thus, I would have too.
-If I cried, it was because I was reminded that Indy was a predator who slept with his underage students. Of course, nobody noticed things like that in the 10s, 20s, and 30s.
-Dispite that, I loved the movies as a child and still enjoy them to this day.
-Great review, thank you!
Amazing as always! Combination of 2 of my favourite things. Missing the subcribe button and recommended vid from end of the video.
Not to be that guy to ruin a good joke, but as a WW1&2 buff, I do feel it's worth mentioning for the uninitiated, U-Boats (German submarines) actually mostly traveled on the surface because of limited air, as well as above water travel being faster and more efficient. They really only submerged before launching an attack
Edit: so @nexus_of_a_crisis brought up a point my monolingual ass didn't catch, and that a German officer very specifically gave an order to dive. I tried to find the scene in question just to confirm, but there were only 30 second clips i could find that weren't long enough to tell for certain. BUT apparently there is a deleted scene that shows a U-Boat submerged JUST under the surface of the water and Indy is holding onto the persicope, so I suppose that's what happened!
Ooh, going under is tight!
They also kept a constant watch when on the surface (to keep an eye out for enemy boats and planes and things), so they would have easily noticed someone clinging on.
Thanks, I was wondering if I should be that guy, you've saved me.
For those who understand the Deutsch, the command is given: "Tauchen das Boot", or whatever [1:33:55] in the movie. What I'm saying is the submarine SPECIFICALLY dives and he somehow gets inside or hitches a ride ... for hundreds of miles, then swims ahead three hundred yards to knock out a guard who's alone until his superior officer appears. 'Scary Movie' level writing right there.
Doesn’t he also go into the U-Boat??
"Which one?" Absolute PEAK Pitch meeting
Can someone explain this pls?
@@alexdarth7614 Yeah, that one wooshed me too.
It could be a meta commentary that everyone in politics calls someone they don’t like “literally” Hitler.
I think it demonstrates how ignorant film producers are.
@@alexdarth7614 Maybe because Hitler is a surname so there's more than one? So Producer Guy is a lot more familiar with right wing fascists than you'd like.
1:00 FINALLY! The scornful "I don't know" is back!
Still goes up there as one of my all time favorite films ever made.
Missed a perfect joke opportunity to suggest 'Idaho Duncan' as one of the possible names.
Or Tennessee Williams, which is John Williams’s alias.
@@commandercaptain4664 Isn't Tennessee Williams a playwright?
Nope. The only -famous- notorious Duncan we have was a murderer-rapist-kidnapper-child-molester

Pitch meeting I would love to see is Gremlins. I would love to see his reaction to the rules I think that'll be one of if not my favorite part of the pitch meeting.
I was a fan of cinemasins but they started getting way off topic and not really nitpicking as much as rambling.

@@sarahberkner man if only it were that easy now lol
@@goldenfiberwheat238 It is, leave the house, talk to people.
There's actually a deleted scene with Indy hanging on to the sub with its conning tower above the surface; German WW2 subs sailed at surface level to preserve fuel and sail with increased speed. They would only dive when stealth was needed or combat action was expected.
So he never was thirsty or hungry, or had to poop???
There is also a shot in the actual movie, when the submarine arrives at the island, Indy can be seen hanging onto the periscope. He is only a few pixels tall and there is a map overlay happening at the same time, so very easy to miss. Also explains why he looks rather wet and roughed up when he arrives.
@@TeddyRumble Nobody said he didn't poop!!!
Didn't all diesel subs do that? And how would you use more fuel submerged, when you can only run off of batteries? I'm pretty sure the main advantage was speed and conserving the batteries for when you needed them. Not to mention air.
@@Shinkajo - At surface level about a quarter of the sub would not be causing water resistance when moving. Thus saving fuel and allowing greater speed.
Hey Ryan,
First off, I love your Pitch Meeting channel and your just Ryan George channel. They are both hilarious and so fun to watch.
Question Time - How do you come up with so many ideas? Do you just do things around the house and see something that makes you say, "Ah ha! I got an idea."
For example, your video, "The First Guy to Ever Eat An Egg." Were you simply eating eggs one morning and had the realization that eggs are weird?
Thanks, Ryan.😁
😂 “Which one?” “Which Hitler? Adolf.” “Ah dang dang, that’s the worst one.” I’m still laughing about that one
I absolutely love the implication that the fly-eating scene was specifically described in the script. Imagine how difficult it must have been for them to get the fly to do that on queue.
They spent 6 months of training that fly with a whip and a single banana.
True story.
Actor requested it because his son wanted him to play Spider-Man.
Nobody's said it yet so I will; actually it was super easy, barely an inconvenience.
I had forgotten that part in the movie so when they showed that clip, I actually tried to smash the bug on my screen.
That had top men training that fly.
Ryan's ability to talk to Ryan gets better every time.
There was a spot where he double checks his notes and paused before a second "hey shut up"... and the response... how does Ryan have such amazing conversational chemistry with Ryan?
They get along real well.

The " oh no ! which one?" was really funny good job. (It's hard to translate laughter over the internet)
🤣🤣🤣
Actually it's super easy! Barely an inconvenience!
"555", "jajaja", and, if you're in a pinch, "hahaha" seem to do the trick - depending on what language you speak.
One of the best action adventure movies ever. An OG. And extremely worthy of a Pitch Meeting. Wow wow wow wow wow…. wow.

I think it is overrated.
The score and dialogue are near perfect. This and Jaws are Hollywood at it's best.

@@cacklebabygg6156Ryan did a video about the question “how did ancient people have that kinda technology?”
@@andyaquitaine4225 I knew about that but didn't really notice the reference
@@cacklebabygg6156 honestly I’m not sure it is, but I imagine he noticed the parallel
Regarding the Staff Gem showing the objective on that particular day: That's what all the various holes in the floor were there for. You were expected to shove the staff into a specific hole, based on the particular date, and it would, in turn, accurately show the objective's true location.
Been waiting a long time for this one and it did not disappoint! Pitch Meetings are tight!
"Would be weird for him to hook up with someone so much younger than him" 😂Brilliant.
IIRC there was also a deleted scene implying he slept with the "Love You" girl.
@@OrangeDog20 hell yeah
you are the only person here to comment on that so far, after like 2 mins of scrolling... Was gettin' worried that I wasnt.
Well done Ryan by not including the famous shooting the swordsman scene since that was unscripted.
Keeping continuity with the lore is TIGHT!!!
- And then a bad guy pulls out a sword, but Indie pulls out a gun and shoots him.
- Wouldn't it be cooler if they have a sword fight instead?
- But Indie pulling a Han Solo on a Greedo swordsman would be funnier!
- What?
- I said that Indie shooting the swordsman would be funnier!
- And I said I wanted a sword fight!
- Fine, they have a sword fight!
- Amazing!
- Unless our main actor gets diarrhea during this scene.
- What?
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
Good timing, I’m literally going through and watching all the Indiana Jones movies
@4:00 damn this is the first time in my life I noticed that Indy is armed with an RPG-7 which wasn't in service until ~20 years after the movie takes place.
And not by the Germans, either. But hey, maybe the Russians had a secret base on that island where they were testing out prototypes.
I feel so honored that TH-cam decided i deserved to see this in its first minute of being posted
Actually watching pitch meetings as soon as they come out is super easy, barely an inconvenience. You literally just have to click the Bell
@@crimson5pider Are you calling this clickbait?!? That's something one of the Hitlers would say!
*Don't read my name... 👀*
I had to rewind it three times to verify I didn't miss the complete skip over the Well of Souls. Wow, man.
I'd love to see Pitch Meetings about older movies. Nostagia is tight! How about Christine? a movie about a posessed 1958 Plymouth Fury?
Oh neat he included the part where The Badguy accidentally ate a bug if you zoom in on him 🤣
No, actually. The fly flew away when he moved his mouth, but the cameras in 1981 didn't have the frame rate to catch it on film.
Included a goof, but skipped the entire sequence where they actually get the ark out of the tomb
@@tomspiegel5322wait seriously?!
@@tomspiegel5322 Even if that's the case you know everyone is still THINKING that he ate the bug if they noticed in the first place or had to look up if he actually did eat it later 😅
@@tomspiegel5322Standardized frame rate has been 24 FPS since the 1920s.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is my second favorite Indiana Jones movie, with my all-time favorite being the Last Crusade.
This is the way.
Well then,you're just the sort of person that this channel is made for, because in addition to this Raiders pitch meeting and the Dial of Destiny pitch meeting and the Crystal Skull pitch meeting and the Crystal Skull pitch meeting revisited, there's a big, beautiful... Ummm... Errrr...
Whoopsy!
@@DontReadMyPicture758Let me just not read that, then.
All the Indiana Jones movies are bad. Full of plot holes, racism, and nonce stuff. 🤢🤮
@@dangerousdays2052 Because of course we would have that one person who hates a classic movie because of "racism."
Man, I had no idea how badly I needed to cry until this video made it all come pouring out. Thank you, kind sir.
You had me pulling out a lot of old child-originated questions that I had pestered my dad with when I first saw this movie as a kid. A lot of old questions. Damn you. Now I can't ever indulge in my favorite movies anymore because you have me making fun of them now.
At least back then, they could make a movie where the questions are forgotten by the end of the film. Now, these days, the film just gets worse and sometimes we don't even finish it before we've had enough garbage and walk out.
Watching every Pitch Meeting as soon as it comes out is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
*Don't read my name... 👀*
your comment is tight, wow, wow , wow.
Supper easy barley an inconvenience 😜
Alright then!
WW2-era submarines stayed on the surface unless attacking other vessels or hiding, so it would not have submerged to transit the Med. However, Indie would have been seen by officers in the con tower. Watch Das Boot to see how these subs operated. The Raiders sub mock-up is literally the same one used to film Das Boot.
As well as, no food, no water, no bathroom, no shade...
Except the captain says: "Tauchen". There's no ambiguity, just the biggest plot hole in cinematic history.
@@davidm5707 At 18 knots, it wouldn’t have taken THAT long,; he’d just get hungry. He could rig his shirt for some shade, and the bathroom is everywhere. Water though…. You got me there.
To be fair, U-Boats did travel long distances on the surface. They only submersed to avoid being seen while they approached their target.
I generally like all pitch meetings so I would say the bar is pretty high, but this one Ryan really outdid himself. So many good callouts, so many good jokes. I chuckled throughout the whole thing. Probably my most favorite pitch meeting now.
3:43 To be fair, older submarines spent most of their time only partially submerged (like an ordinary boat), they only fully submerged when at risk of detection, so Indy was probably fine on top of it as long as no-one poked their head out.
When on the surface, submarines ALWAYS had two or three crew, an officer and sailor(s). No matter what, war or peace.
Problem is in the very next scene the submarine captain tells them to dive. The solution to the issue is in a deleted scene: Indy hangs onto the periscope while the sub dives. This is also very briefly seen when the sub arrives at the island in the actual movie.
Doesn't matter. Even if Indie survived the trip, he would have been half-dead by the time they got there.
@@dangerousdays2052 You are forgetting about the plot armor.
Indy is pretty clearly shown calculating which hole in the floor to put the staff in the map room. Each hole corresponding to a different time of year.
True, but it still doesn't explain why he's barely four feet tall. 😁 Technically, I think the staff was 6 feet minus one foot, which would make Indy way less that 4 feet tall.
I'm going to really need you to get way way way way off my back about that thing there.
@@duckofdeath3266 All the people in the movie are Oompa Loompas.
😱💀💀😂😂 the caries fisher joke was priceless!
I like the reference to Ryan's skit about making those elaborate ancient traps and resetting them :D
Clearly the Hovitos played Dungeons & Dragons.
