Play as Han Solo in the new Indiana Jones Wii game photo

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings (coming June 9th) has a new trailer at StarWars.com. And you don't even have to watch it after seeing the title of the video: Exclusive Han Solo footage from Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings. So, that's it. I have nothing else to say. StarWars' Han Solo is in the new Indy game. Now go about your day.

The smart kids out there know that this was an easy addition: just keep the face map and change the clothing textures. But Han does get his laser pistol as a weapon, though you can opt to use Indy's whip instead.

This begs the following question: Who would win in a fight? Indy or Han?

Damn, that's pretty cool. Hans would win, it's basically the same as asking what would win out of a Lightsaber and a Whip.

This is all I ask of basic action/adventure games of the type. If you're not going to have extra modes like endless survival, or a gauntlet mode like God of War, the least you can do is have a cool skin that has different powers, and unique weaponsets, and gives me an extra playthrough. With a few other extras, it singlehandedly brings up a replay value score from a 4 to like an 8.

Han is a pilot, so he would rather fire off a few rounds as he's running to his spacecraft. Indy is an archaeologist. he's more nitty gritty, always getting physical with the dirt kinda guy. I'd guess Indy would kick Han's ass.

@Justice Don't forget Indy uses guns as well. And Han wouldn't be using a Lightsaber unless he found on a dead Jedi. You have watched the movies, right?

Han would win easy. He'd shoot Indy from a distance.

It's not that easy to redo the character. A jacket and a vest require different polygon counts, so would the blaster. And they don't even have the same hair. Plus even when they just had to change the textures, textures are not just a matter of whipping one up.

I hope all of you are kidding. Indy wins hands down if we're talking a man to man fight. Both use guns to that's a moot point, and once you get beyond pistols Hans has no close combat weapons, meanwhile indy has the wip.

Add to that Indy is far more adept at fighting i.e. that fight with the giant nazi. Hans always had chewbacca to do his fist fighting for him.

Indiana Jones shoots people all the time. According to George Lucas' revisionist history, Han only shoots after being shot at.

There you go. Indy wins.

@Poopypants
You have a few good points there, and smh at myself for saying Hans Solo has a lightsaber.

Oh and yep I've seen all the films except Episode 3, which I have no desire to see anytime soon.

Indy would win. Han is more talk than anything. Now here are two better fights.
Harrison Ford vs. Indiana jones vs. Han Solo

And

Han Solo vs Dash Rendar

You're all missing the point here. Both Indy and Han have sidekicks. This isn't a fight between Indy and Han, this is a fight between Short Round and Chewbacca. I think the winner of that one should be obvious.

@Justice

I felt the same way after seeing Attack of the Clones, but Revenge of the Sith is the best of the new trilogy and is really worth seeing if you forced yourself to sit through the first two.

Han isn't a stormtrooper, he wouldn't miss a lot with his blaster. Besides, he has wookie help.

I wanna see a free for all between Han Solo, Indiana Jones, President James Marshall from AirForce One, and Dr. Richard Kimble from the Fugitive. It would be a ladder match with an Academy Award hanging above the stage.

@Mr Showtime

If that could ever be pulled off, I'd buy that PPV.

A blaster gun should destroy ANYTHING those silly Nazis can throw at him.

Not even since the Super Star Wars games have I been so interested about Han Solo being a playable character. Good move.

Han would win. He has lasers and a spaceship.

Han would shoot first. Also, what happened to that PS3/360 version that was showing off the Euphoria engine?
