Supposedly, George Lucas offered the role of Han Solo to several actors before Harrison Ford, including Christopher Walken, Al Pacino, and Kevin Spacey.

Any thoughts on how these (or any other) alternative Solos would have panned out?

Only Kurt Russell would have made a better Han Solo than Ford ....

No one else I imagine could beat Ford.

Um...can't imagine anyone other than Harry in the role. And those pictures aren't helping...

Nick Nolte was almost Han Solo

Suffice it to say that I'm quite glad Harrison Ford got the role in the end tongue

I'm not sure if Kevin Spacey was ever considered. That picture you have there is of him spoofing Christopher Walken auditioning for Han. So yeah.

What Kurt Russel did in Big Trouble In Little China would have more than fit the bill for Han Solo.

I think you should have used older images of Pacino and Walken. It's kinda hard to picture two men in late middle age portraying a man in his thirties.
