Club Obi Wan was a restaurant and nightclub in Shanghai, China in the 1930s. Housed in a multi-story building, the club featured fine dining and lavish entertainment productions for both Chinese and foreign patrons.
In 1935, Willie Scott was a lead singer at the club, performing in a large cast of singers and dancers. The club was also a hangout for the crime lord, Lao Che, and his minions. One evening at the club, Lao Che met with Indiana Jones to trade Nurhachi's ashes for a large diamond. Lao attempted to double cross Jones with poison, but Jones escaped, taking Scott with him. During the violent confrontation, Jones' friend Wu Han and Lao Che's son Chen were both killed.
