Agree, Yoda, Storm Troopers and Darth Vader are all more iconic than Han Solo.

Ford used to have that little bit of trivia as being the actor in the two highest grossing franchises of all time. I think LOTR maybe broke that up though.

Begrudgingly, Rocky / Rambo probably has the nod on the actor with 2. I have to clarify, that does not mean good acting or even quality movies. Just purely Iconic Roles. Meaning an insanely recognizable role highly associated with that actor.

My personal favorite is The Man With No Name and Dirty Harry. One role defined a genre (I call it "good westerns") and the other started a genre (detective action hero).
