Don't forget Indy's black sassy sidekick.

Based on some news and casting, he has three sidekicks/co-stars for now. The two pc youths and an old comic relief museum curator who I think is supposed to be a replacement/stand-in/knockoff for Sallah or Marcus Brody played by Toby Jones (Sallah's actor mentioned back in 2016 that he wanted to play Sallah again if a 5th movie ever came up).
Ford looks like he's falling apart like the Scarecrow. Still I find it ironic that Twitter and the film's director are going with this "ageism" tactic to try and defend Indy being the lead at his age (even though its an obvious fake out to kill him off to have him replace by the woke replacements), despite that many of the same people screeching ageism were proudly stating that no one wanted to watch a movie about geriatric SW characters no more than 2 and 3 years ago.

Sassy black women is a tired character type that needs to die.

They likely didn't bring him back because a Welsh actor playing an Egyptian would today be considered "brownface" by the people in charge of Lucasfilm.

Nevermind Egypt was an English colony slash possession for much of the 19th and 20th Centuries.
in that picture alone he looks like shit.
I know I agreed with it but are you fucking crazy? It's Disney-era Lucasfilm, they'd put Dave Filoni in charge of it and he'd shove ancient mythological wolves and ahsoka in it

I'm curious, people who've read the High Republic; did anything ever come of Geode, the literal slab of rock?
So, because Harrison Ford can't say "no", all of his important legacy Characters (I mean it is rare to find an actor whose roles influenced popculture this much.) will be ending up as sad losers? Making sure my life's legacy get tainted around the time of my death is sure what I would like to avoid as much as possible.
Han Solo ended up being a loser.
Rick Deckard ended up being a loser and a real human bean as well.
possible Indiana Jones will end up being less than good
Say what you want about Sylvester Stalone, but at least he somewhat kept Rambo and Rocky in a much better shape.
Is Harrison Ford is such a need for money or is he obliged by some contracts to do these movies? If he hated Han Solo I am sure he must hate Indiana Jones as well. Also so much for not being typecast.

Geode hasn't yet appeared in other High Republic media, but will apparently be in IDW's The High Republic Adventures #6 which will be released July 21.

Yeah, I saw a picture of it on the StarWarsLeaks subreddit. I asked because all the comments in that thread were going on about how everyone misjudged Geode, was curious if there was something I missed.

There is no redeeming Geode, those people are just morons, I'm sure.
Those morons will eat up anything.
Its just the rock playing Plank again while the obnoxious characters drool out sarcasm and act like the rock can communicate... again.
Plank is a good comparison. I just thought they were just trying to rip off Groot from the MCU, with an extra layer of cringey hipster humor.
I mean, remember, Geode was cooked up by the same deranged cat-lady who thought that Walking Asparagus was the single greatest threat that the Jedi could face because "muh thorns" and "muh poison", as well as being the one responsible for creating a character for no other reason than to satisfy her weird fetish for Matthew McConaughey.
It's been a while since I last watched either Blade Runner film, but I disagree with that assessment. Deckard struck me as a more fallible, mortal character than Han or Indy. He barely survived the first film, often needing someone else to save him or, in Pris's case, make insane decisions during a fight. While Ford is naturally a charismatic actor, I never got the impression that people were charmed by Deckard in Blade Runner's world. He's a washed up veteran of a dangerous job. Only slightly respected for his skills, but otherwise people don't give a shit what happens to him. Deckard's no puckish rogue like Han or Indy. Deckard didn't want to be involved in the first place, and in the end he has to run away with Rachel. I think his situation in the sequel matched his character in the first.
As for being human, the sequel didn't answer that question. When they first confirmed Deckard would be in the film, I thought it confirmed he was human, too. However, we're shown that Rachel is explicitly a Nexus 7 Replicant, not 6 like the ones Deckard fought in the first film, and not 8 like the sequel's current branch. So Deckard could be human, but he could also be the same type of Replicant as Rachel- no four-year lifespan, and memories implanted to make him believe he's human.
Good points. As for the replicant question, that is best let being open ended.
I think I was biased against the new movie, because I got used to the trend of making old characters being messed up. But yeah, Deckard was never really on top of things. Not really a master of his own destiny unlike Han Solo or Indiana Jones.
