Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - Han Solo frozen in Carbonite

Freezing chambers were also sometimes used to seal living beings—though one miscalculation could lead to death. This process required molten carbonite to be released into the chamber which was then flash frozen; a resulting blast of air, soon revealing a solidified encasement. The process could induce hibernation sickness after being released, as was the case with Han Solo. The Alderaanian Medical Association also established that inhaling carbon-freezing smoke was a health risk.

Lol that Stormtrooper came in quick after Han and Leia kissed. He was like "aw hell naw, this aint Romeo and Juliet"

Normal dads: give their daughter's boyfriend a Stern talking-to
Darth Vader: freezes Han in Carbonite

Leia: i love you.
Han solo: f*ck off.

I don't think people realize how Chewbacca is the voice for the audience's fear, worry, and caring when Han is being lowered in. Kind of a unique take on having him be the emotional outlet.

[drystannelson]

I bet when Leia gave that look to Vader after the stormtroopers handcuffed Chewbacca she gave the “But Daddy I love him” face

The way this scene is lit is just pure masterclass. Magnificent cinema.

We have to appreciate the detail that Leia was the only one who noticed that Vader prevented Boba Fett from shouting at free will.

Can you see Vader's contempt for everyone in that place who is not a member of the Empire or Boba? Dude, it's just amazing

2:53 I like that when Lando touches Leia she’s like “Get the hell off me you froze my boyfriend in carbonite!”

[basketballgirl]

Leia, you didn’t do your homework. Instead you snuck out to see your boyfriend. Time for carbon freezing!

[SavouryGalette]

"I love you"
"I know"

Listen, despite how many people clown on that line, it _always_ makes me sad, because they never thought they would see each other again after he was frozen.

At 1:20 3po speaks and Vader looks up in that direction as if he heard 3po speaking. It's almost like he recognizes the voice even though technically he didn't build 3po or even know 3po as it wasn't written yet. I wonder if George had 3po in Vader's back story all along?

0:48 Tasha: Larry petunia and I love you
Larry: I know Tasha

[orsenjoshlazarus]

Listen carefully at 0:14 there's a Wilhelm scream.

[jobobbob]

I wonder why Vader forced Boba to lower his weapon there, to avoid accidentally hitting Leia I guess? not like Chewbacca has much value, maybe because of C3-PO? That doesn't work since Vader was all about killing anything from his time as Anakin.

[johnqs]

When Vader says "empire" he really looks is freezing!

Han always wanted a monument in his honor.

[masoapathie]

"question: how does one go from chosen to posin'
Trapped in the box like Han solo frozen"

1:25 - 1:40
I always get a chill down my spine when I watch this part. This is the moment which truly makes the title “The Empire Strikes Back” feel earned.

[PotentialLegend]

Possibly the most iconic line in film history.
