In 1996, George Lucas hired T.M. Christopher to aid in re-editing the complete series into twenty-two feature-length episodes. The series was also retitled The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones. Each chapter contains two episodes, with most of the chapters arranged in chronological order. The scenes in which an older Indiana Jones reminisces are not included in these versions, except in "Chapter 20: Mystery of the Blues", which featured Harrison Ford as an older Indiana Jones in 1950.

Additional documentaries
Additionally ninety-four critically acclaimed documentaries about the real life historical figures, events, and subject matters in the series were made for the included supplements in the DVD releases from 2007 to 2008. They were co-produced by George Lucas and Rick McCallum.
Restoration projects
"The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" restoration began in September 2020 with the channel “Young Indy Restored.” Inspired by Harmys's despecialized edition they set out to restore the show back to its original form.” I know as long as Star Wars doesn't get its original versions released this series won't either. And most likely, the original version of the series will never be released. But then we will at least have this channel.” By June 2021, the project was completed with all two seasons and the four TV films being restored as closely as possible to the original broadcast. One of the people who helped him on the project in the later half “Anarchy Productions” was heavily inspired by “Young Indy Restored’s” work and began to work on their version. A version that was meant to be even more faithful to the broadcast versions, while also using AI remastering to create an HD version of “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles”.
