#HAN IN CARBONITE MOVIE#

You wouldn't want to make a candy bar from it because the real thing is, among other things, an explosive. Note: Carbonite sounds real because it is real. Harrison Ford's hair still perfectly preserved in its trademark quaff. His hands suspended in the air curled like a chipmunk. His mouth twisted to the side drooling who knows what. Harrison Ford improvised a bunch of lines before he hit on the perfect response of 'I know.' What a scoundrel.Īs tragic as the scene is, the sight of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite is hilarious. Note: In the original script Han Solo says 'I love you too' in response to Princess Leia's proclamation of love. Would he survive? What would happen to him? Where was he going? The tension made the scene memorable. The audience was waiting on baited breath as he was subjected to a life-threatening freezing. His last words before being frozen were after his true love expressed her feelings t him.

He felt his character had outlived its usefulness. Note: Part of the reason the scene exists is that Harrison Ford asked George Lucas to kill off his character and hadn't signed on for the third film. It was at the high point in his transformation from self-centered jerk to a bold, selfless hero that he was frozen in Carbonite.

He's handsome, bold, lives by his own rules and has a vaguely criminal job. You could probably decorate your house with Solo if you wanted to. He's on everything from soap to furniture.

One of the most imitated images in movie history is seeing Harrison Ford (Han Solo) frozen in a block of Carbonite from the science-fiction film Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
