Regardless, please provide references and context.įrom the way it was played out in The Empire Strikes Back it seems that nobody really trusts the carbon freezing of living creatures and even Boba Fett clearly expresses his concerns to Darth Vader when Han Solo is used as a test subject for this procedure.Ĭurrent canon doesn't say much at all about freezing people in carbonite. If none (currently) exist, legends explanation would suffice. Looking for in-universe, canonical explanations not armchair speculation and theories.

Hanging high, flat against the wall, exactly as we saw him last, is a Jabba laughs hideously and looks toward an alcove beside the throne. JABBA: I will not give up my favorite decoration. Since the Hutts were frequent patrons of bounty hunters, it would have spread the news that this was a viable way to imprison bounty targets. Jabba the Hutt clearly liked having his prisoner on display. While it's unclear how closely aligned with them he was, Boba Fett would have had an opportunity to share this find with them. The Mandalorians have a tight-knit community (as we see in The Mandalorian).There are two reasons why the technology would develop rapidly after this The ship and its cargo pass the scans, and land in a cavern near the Citadel, where the droids unload and thaw out the strike team. When the droid's ship reaches orbit above Lola Sayu, they are interrogated about their cargo by the Citadel's warden, Osi Sobeck, and his tactical droid, K2-B4. incorporates a plot devised by Anakin using reprogrammed battle droids led by R2-D2 to pilot a Class type B escort shuttle through the orbital defense lines, and the human and clone crew being frozen in carbonite to fool life form detectorsĪfter the strike team is carbon-frozen, they are loaded onto the shuttle and transported to the Citadel. on Captain Solo.Īpparently Vader first used it himself, back when he was still a Jedi. VADER: I do not want the Emperor's prize damaged. If you put him in there, it might kill him. LANDO: Lord Vader, we only use this facility for carbon freezing. Since Vader was ruthless, he wasn't afraid to take a risk in seeing if it would kill Han. Lando's equipment was not designed to do this. When Vader decides to use it, it's clear that the technology was not commonly used on people and fraught with risk.
