Same guy who played Young Indy playing Young Han?

Worlds are shrinking...

But in all honesty Flanery is 47 years old. Hardly young.

Actors don't always play characters close to their real life chronological ages though. And Mr. Flannery looks pretty darn good for 47...

How old is Han supposed to be in the Daley books?

I'm not suggesting that actors must play characters the exact same age as them.

Ford was 34 when he first played Han. If they're doing a "Young Han", then I'd figure they're going for Han to be in his 20s. While someone in their 30s can pass for being in their 20s, I don't think a 47-year-old can pull off being less than 30, nor do I think they should be expected to do so.
