Within the Indiana Jones franchise, he is a renowned archaeologist and expert
The movie Stardust displays multiple themes throughout itself; one of the themes would be selfishness. Throughout the entire movie of Stardust, several characters displayed selfishness.

When Lamia completes the task of killing the star and taking its heart, Lamia gets everlasting beauty and youth; Lamia’s yearn to kill the star makes her selfish, because in the kingdom of Stormhold, stars are not just a lump of rock

What is Worth Fighting for? What people fight for differs from person to person, it might be something as simple as who makes the best muffins, or it could be something as complex as world peace.
