Han Solo or Indiana Jones
Which of these two iconic characters potrayed by Harrison Ford do you prefer? Jones is awesome but i can't say no to how cool he was as the original space outlaw/pirate/smuggler.

Waaay bigger fan of Indiana Jones.
That could be because he was a mountain among pebbles in Indiana Jones, and only a rock among other rocks in Star Wars.

Going on the premise that "Smart is Sexy" (works for me!), Indiana Jones would win hands down.

But, add in Indy's machismo and general goofiness... Unbeatable!

The good news is that Harrison has already settled the debate for us. In a Barbara Walters interview he commented on how "thin" the Han Solo character was, but claimed he'd play Indy again "in a New York Minute".
Indy wins!

I went with Indy. While I love the character of Han Solo in the unaltered versions of Star Wars & Empire, you can't quite forget the "pussification" (to quote a previous dvdtalker) of Han in Return of the Jedi.
Indy stays true to his character the entire trilogy while Solo becomes a completely different person in Jedi.

Jones is cooler because he isn't a scruffy lookin' nerfherder.
