Lynk Former Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Okay, there's a little too much asshattery going on in Ahto lately and I'm sure the mods aren't all too happy with it. So let's try to give them a nice thread this time. Han Solo and Indiana Jones... both great and iconic characters played by Harrison Ford, but which one is your favourite and why? My vote goes to Indy. Han does have his cool points, his roguish ways and his... way with women XD But Indy is this College Professor who is meant to be neat and proper but goes out on the most awesome adventures where he gets dirty and gritty and ends up getting in serious trouble. He does everything you don't expect a real College Professor to do and even though it's so unreal, you believe he can do these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I vote Indy as well. Han is definitely a great character, but Indiana is just too damn cool. And I agree with you, I just love how he makes himself appear like a normal guy to all his coworkers and students and then goes out on these crazy adventures. Pretty much every guy wants to be him.

Darth_Yuthura Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Dr. Jones I think is the winner. Star Wars could due w/out Han, but Indiana Jones couldn't endure w/out Harrison Ford. He fit that role perfectly and that role could go to no one but Ford. Han Solo was just... two dimensional for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabish Bini Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Indy, I feel he [played his role better in the Indy films, he was more "suited" for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev7 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Indiana Jones even though I do like Han. Indy because I think Han did a really good job with Indy, and he is the coolest guy to ever be in a movie. Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I hate to jump on the Indy bandwagon here, but I have to go with Indy as well. Simply put, in Star Wars Luke is your main protagonist for all intents and purposes, but in Indy it's all about Indy. Despite the disappointment that was Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls, Indy is still the better of the Ford characters, although President James Marshall could give Indy a run for his money. Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) I'm sure the mods aren't all too happy with it. Did you just refer to yourself in the 3rd?

mimartin Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Tough decision, so allow me to look into this a little deeper. Sidekick: Solo – Chewie an over 7 feet tall Wookiee. Indy: Little Kid, Whinny Women, Old Men, Wannabe James Dean and Sallah Winner: Solo - While Sallah, Henry Jones Sr., Short Round and Marcus Brody are all worthy sidekicks. Chewie could still tear all their arms off and beat them to death with their own arms. Motivation Indy: Knowledge Solo: Credits Winner: Solo Wardrobe and Equipment Indy: Fedora, Leather Jacket, Boots, Whip, British Gas Mask Bag and Pistol. Solo: Who cares Indy has already won Winner: Indy Love Interest Indy: Willie Scott, Marion Ravenwood and Dr. Elsa Schneider Solo: Princess Leia Organa Winner: I’m going with Indy on this one. Occupation Indy: Professor and finder of rare antiquities Solo: Smuggler and Rebel Leader Winner: Tie – Indy studies history, while Solo makes history. Movies Well I again would say this was a tie, but Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull pushes this one into a Solo win. Winner: Solo Fighting Style Indy: Indy shoots sword man with revolver. Solo: Shoots first Winner: Slight Indy win Skills Indy: College Professor Knowledgably in History, Languages, Geography, Combat Tactics, but still depends on dumb luck Solo: Pilot and Smuggler - Trained in combat at the Imperial Academy. Depends way too much on dumb luck Winner: Solo – Sometimes it is better to be lucky. I'm going with Solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astor Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 He fit that role perfectly and that role could go to no one but Ford. While I wholeheartedly agree, we shouldn't forget that Ford only got the role because Tom Selleck was busy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Solo. mimartin summed up it quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I would vote Harrison Ford if that choice were there, someone had to act out the characters. Yeah, Tom Selleck was supposed to do the role, be he had forgotten that he had already signed up for the show, Magnum P.I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Obi-Wan Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Indy. Indiana Jones used to be my favourite movies for the longest time. Still are amongst my favs still. Tough decision though. Han Solo is pretty ****in' wicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Thought of another: Name Indy: Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Jr. His name isn’t even original. Solo: Han Solo – Well at least it is original and the Solo part conjures up images of being a lone wolf. Winner: Solo – Indiana stole the cool part of his name from the dog. Solo still wins.
