Ok so it's continuing George Lucas's trend of naming his character after his own and other's dogs.
George also had a dog named Indiana in the 70's I believe. Shortround was named after a writers dog I think and Willie was Spielberg's dog... funny that he married the actress who played a character named after his dog.
Also I'm just speculating on the name Mutt. Even if it's not someone's dog it may be a nod to that practice.
EDIT: Ok I was really bored so I looked it up. George Lucas based Chewbacca on his dog Indiana... if he had a dog named Chewie it came after Star Wars. Didn't look that far into it. Either way he didn't name Chewie after his dog, only got inspiration from him. I didn't know that. I had always thought the same as you.

Oh, yes, you're right- now I remember! Chewie being based on the dog, Indiana... I got all mixed up there.
As far as the character name "Mutt" maybe it's more a reference to breeding than animal.... as in the kid doesn't come from good parentage- it could be his nickname because of that and we'll find out that hs real name in Indiana or Henry or something...

I think a lot of people get that mixed up. The only reason I was thinking about it was I just watched the documentary on the bonus disc with the Indiana Jones Trilogy. I got it from my folks for Christmas.
I seriously doubt he's Indy's boy. For one thing the last movie was a father son deal and I doubt they'd do it again. It worked great then but to do it with the next movie would be even too dorky for George Lucas. I think he's the son of Marion Ravenwood and some other guy. It would still put Mutt in the position to carry the torch for Indy as he was his mothers first love and his grandfather's student.
Another possibility would be that Mutt is also one of Indy's students and is cutting his class and being an ass so having an adventure with the teach sorta get's him interested in the class...
All in all it's just speculation. We'll all see on May 22. It's really only one of two films I plan to see on the day of release or at least within a few days after. The other would be Defiance. Check that one out. Jurassic Punk also has that trailer.

Did anybody else notice that the musical score at the start (prior to the traditional Indiana Jones Theme) was taken from Sci-Fi's children of dune?
I'm excited about the jones film, but putting the Dune score in there seemed....inappropriate. Indiana Jones trailer music (I think) should be upbeat and exciting, exactly what the traditional theme protrays. The Dune theme is intended to be introspectively zen-ish. Once indy was picking up his hat and the traditional theme started, it finally felt like a Jones movie.
Do not fear me. Our's is a peaceful race and we must live in harmony.
