Ah, genderswapping, one of my favourite subjects :)
Han Solo as a woman would be great, but how about Mal from Firefly? I liked Firefly, but I didn't love it because I thought some of the characters and storylines were still far too stereotypical. A show with female Mal and male Inara would have been, to me, far more interesting.
Then again, when I'm into a show or a movie, it usually doesn't take long for me to start pondering what it would be like if the boys were girls and the girls were boys. I blame this all on being involved in production of Macbeth where, due to the demographics of the group, many male characters were turned into women. This has ruined Macbeth to me because I will always imagine Malcolm to be pregnant with Banquo's child.
