Meh...the icons of Star Wars are (in no particular order) Darth Vader, Yoda, & maybe Chewbaca. An icon has to have some resonance with people who never even saw the movie (which I know is hard to find with Star Wars...but not seeing it for 20+ years can sorta simulate this). I would contend these are the most recognizable and most easily emulated icons. Solo? Skywalker? I cannot honestly recall why they would be iconic(I could be forgetting something big...but that tells me something in and of itself).
