Re: Star Wars Anthology (Young Han Solo)
That's an interesting question, cboath. IIRC, AI said in an interview that while he loved Star Wars and Han Solo, it was Ford's portrayal of Jones that he most closely identified with and admired.
Perhaps you're on to something. My gut tells me that is not the case. But it would be an explanation of AI's reticence on the Solo role, if true.

Since we're playing what-if's now....what if Ingruber was given the choice of Solo or Jones and he chose Jones? I mean, think about it. Han Solo is a one-off and LFL has been pretty clear that the stand alones are just one-offs, with no sequels (see the wiping out of the entire R1 crew). Raiders, meanwhile, could be endless. If you have the job, that could be anywhere from 1-5 flicks or even more.
