Was the character of John Milner an influence on creating the Han Solo character?


Am I the only one who thought that Milner really was similar to Han Solo in a bunch of ways? Even though Ford himself is in this film, I feel like the character of John Milner was a Lucas character who ultimately was significant inspiration while creating the character of Han Solo years later.

Not so much as Harrison's own character Bob Falfa became a rebel precursor to Han Solo.
