League of Extraordinary Bloggers: Kurt Russell.....HAN SOLO !?!? what could have been....

This weeks assignment form the League of Extraordinary Bloggers:

Kurt Russell.

OK. Short and sweet. But as soon as I read that, I thought of how close Kurt Russell came to being Han Solo. Can you imagine Russell's Solo makin fun of Luke? or sitting next to Chewie in the Falcon? would he have kept the dice throughout the movie??

Here's something to ponder thanks to Youtube:



Now, Harrison Ford made the character an Icon, but, I cant help but to imagine what Kurt would have done with the role. Maybe a better looking, ladies man kinda hero. Roguish and smart. Would Lando hang out with him? What would he and Hamill be like in the roles together? Maybe an eyepatch??

Alot of food for thought!!
