![]() Advancement that had refined the process by the time of Dyn Jarren. Yet once it was successful on Han Solo, the usefulness in bounty hunting became evident and that sparked technological advancement on the technique. Perhaps carbon freezing hadn’t been specced for humans at the time of Empire Strikes Back, because really, who would freeze a human like that? Theory #4: There were technological advancements. That’s certainly in character for the smooth talking sabacc player. If that was the case, Lando was bluffing because he was stalling for time. So, maybe Lando suggested the carbon freezing equipment wasn’t specced for humans, yet he knew full well it was. C-3PO said it was fine and that prissy droid was known for saying things out loud that his companions wished he’d keep to himself. They said specifically in Empire that the Cloud City equipment wasn’t built for humans, but perhaps there was carbon freezing equipment elsewhere in the galaxy that was specifically tuned toward putting living creatures in the deep freeze. In short, Boba Fett started a fad that persisted 6 years later. As Fett went, so did other bounty hunters, many of which may have done business in Jabba’s palace where they could see Han Solo’s carbonite captivity with their own eyes. ![]() When Fett experienced the usefulness of carbon freezing bounties, he made it common practice.

In the opening episode of The Mandalorian, we see inside the Razor Crest, Dyn Jarren aka the Mandalorian’s ship, and he’s carrying several bounties who are frozen in carbonite. It certainly wouldn't be the first retcon in Star Wars canon, and it could even give him a scene or two with everyone's favorite Mandalorian bounty hunter when War of the Bounty Hunters arrives this May.Why is a living creature being frozen in carbonite in The Mandalorian so common when it seemed so risky in Empire Strikes Back? Hibernation sickness can occasionally lead to memory loss, so Han Solo might not remember his time outside the block before being recovered by Boba Fett and potentially being re-frozen again. The discolorations on Han Solo's hands lends itself to another possibility: that Solo could be thawed out of the carbonite block during the events of the comic. Additionally, in War, Fett will have to contend with the criminal organization Black Sun, Jabba's lackeys and other obstacles along the way. " One galactic year passes between films (368 days), which would leave plenty of time for Fett to lose and recover Han's body. "Something had to happen in between that intervening time between Empire and Jedi.
