It won't be Harrison Ford. Han Solo is roughly ten years older than Luke & Leia, so it would be someone in their mid-teens to early 20's.
And Young Indiana Jones was potrayed by two different actors on TV - Corey Carrier & Sean Patrick Flannery. There's precident.

That was worth writing, really? Who are you? Noel Gallagher?
If I'm Noel, you must be Liam. That's why we're fighting.
I was pointing out the obvious - Young Indiana Jones was potrayed on TV by different actors. A young Han Solo can be as well - the character is no more a sacred cow than Indy.
Or were you actually serious when you said Harrison Ford should play him again on TV - though the character would be anywhere from 10-25 years old for the timeline - at the age of 65?
That boggles the mind. 🤪

Ssh, just ignore him, he likes to make conflict where there is none.

No, I'm Damon and really, it was just obvious to the extreme of not even being worth mentioning; to come out with a comment so bereft of humour, tenacity or point, I have to just wonder. While I'm blatantly biased to the point of talking common sense, I was under the impression that the lack of Harrison Ford or failing that, a solid cast choice for a young Indy, was one of the reasons why the serial had pretty much been confined to the closet, only rearing its contrived head for DVD purposes.
Indiana Jones is a different character to Han Solo, an 'everyman' in Ford's own words, and the character would lose something if he was portrayed by a younger actor and the entire laconic, cocksure attitude would be moot. Or maybe the annoying, whiny American accent of a younger actor would ruin the character; im for both. It's not the fact that both characters are a sacred cow and I am somehow being quarrelsome and unreasonable but rather that the Han Solo character walks a thin line between being a charming bloke and a complete git, and something would be lost in the translation a la Hayden Christiensen as Anakin Skywalker.
