Farmer used the shared Universe idea as the basis for some of his books.The Universe has since been expanded (and keeps expanding) to truly mindboggling proportions Harrison FordThen you have the Harrison Ford Universe that starts with hieroglyphs depicting R2D2 and C3P0 in Indiana Jones and the Raiders pf the Lost Ark.  Further it is claimed that the alien Skulls Indiana Jones finds in the 'Crystal Skull' belong to the aliens in Close in Encounters of the Third Kind.  ET follows and we know his species appears in the Phantom Menace. Then there is speculation that the Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were made with Alien DNA and that Jaws was a hybrid Megalodon</blockquote>
