Unidentified museum (Indiana Jones)

A museum on the planet Earth hired Doctor Indiana Jones to travel to a jungle to find the legendary "Sasquatch" between the Earth-years 1942 and 1943. The creature was actually the Wookiee Chewbacca, who, along with his pilot, Han Solo, had crashed on the world in the YT-1300 light freighter Millennium Falcon 126 years earlier and been allegedly sighted in the thirty years prior to Jones' hiring. Jones made the expedition along with his companion Short Round and a guide.

As they approached the ship's wreck, the guide identified one of Chewbacca's footprints and claimed to Jones that they were nearing the Wookiee's home. Jones responded that he was glad as the museum was not paying for mere footprints. After exploring the ship and encountering Solo's skeletal remains, Jones called off the search, deciding to leave Chewbacca as part of the unknown.
