Heh, I hadn't thought of that. Hal really is like *a poor man's Hans Solo - Solo being smarter, more handsome and actually able to fight.

*is there a better phrase for this, I actually don't like using this one.
How about a Hans Solo on the cheap, Hans Solo at bargain basement prices, the Hans Solo you couldn't give away. The Hans Solo you have when you're not having a Hans Solo (aka Claytons Hans Solo). Any of these tickle your proverbial?

"A cheap man's Hans Solo", or better yet "A cheap Hans Solo" that's nice!

Thank you.

For the love of George! It's HAN! Not Hans! He's Corellian, not German!

Oh, and I enjoyed HS, and immediately saw Hal as a Han poser. A wannabe...a Han-a-be, if you will. I'm looking forward to starting HS2.
I also see Clunk as a fusion of R2-D2 an C-3PO. He's a polite and sensitive android, capable of interacting with humans, like 3PO, but with the guts and scrappy resourcefulness of R2.
