Some concept art for Raiders of the Lost Ark. Judging from the concept art, before Harrison Ford and before even Tom Selleck they were apparently trying to get Sergeant Rock to play Indy. Love the cigarette hanging out of his grimacing mouth. And check out the sketch, third one up from the bottom. It's the Luke and Leia pose from the Star Wars posters.
So who's cooler? Indy and Solo? And which is cooler? A gun/blaster or a whip/lightsaber? I'm going with [muffled inaudible mumbling] on the first one and whip/lightsaber for the second one. The good thing about a whip is it can be used for so many things other than a weapon: rope, human towline behind Nazi truck, stylish belt. And a lightsaber? Lantern, door melter thingy, hot dog roaster. A gun/blaster? Sure they're handy when you need to kill someone long range but outside of that... I don't know. You could use it as a hammer I guess. Anyway, enjoy the pics.
