No, but while John Travolta was not considered, the classic Star Wars role was not originally intended for Harrison Ford. Christopher Walken and Nick Nolte were considered to play Han Solo before Ford, as was a black actor by the name of Glynn Turman.

Kurt Russell, Nick Nolte, Billy Dee Williams, Burt Reynalds, and Chrisopher Walken. Harrison Ford was not even allowed to audition until late in the process.

Kurt Russell, Nick Nolte, Christopher Walken, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Bill Murray and Perry King were all candidates for the role of Han Solo, as George Lucas wanted to stay away from any actors he had previously used in his films. Harrison Ford (who had played Bob Falfa in Lucas's American Graffiti (1973)) read the part of Han Solo for screen tests of other characters but wasn't originally considered for the part. During these tests George Lucas realized Harrison Ford was perfect for the role.

What is the archetype of Darth Vader?

Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) represents the father of Luke Skywalker, but in movies 4,5, and 6, he represents more of a negative role model to Luke and Leah. He is the basic result of what happens if Luke were to join the dark side. You can tell this connection in the final movie when Luke and Darth's hands are cut off but both show zapping robotics coming out of their arms, which is a very powerfull moment in the movie. This is my answer. Have a nice day
