Santa Frozen in Carbonite Christmas Tree Ornament: Brought to You by Jabba the Humbug

Posted on by

Because no holiday decorating is complete without a casual Star Wars theme, Tree Buddees has created this Santa Frozen in Carbonite Christmas tree ornament (affiliate link). The ornament features everyone’s favorite jolly gift-bringer frozen and on display, presumably to be admired by Jabba the Humbug in his palace.

The ornament measures 3.5″ x 2″, making it “the perfect size for any Christmas Tree.” So if you were wondering what Charlie Brown’s tree was missing, it was this ornament. I wonder how many people out there have trees decorated with ONLY Star Wars ornaments? My guess is more than you’d think.

Is Mrs. Claus going to stage a rescue operation to free Santa and ensure Christmas isn’t ruined for all the kids this year? I sure hope so, and not just because I have a Porsche 911 GT3 on the top of my list, and I was actually good this year. Okay, I was fair. Fair to poor. I was awful, as usual.

Lifesize ‘Pan Solo in Carbonite’ Bread Sculpture

Posted on by

Participating in the Downtown Benicia Main Street Scarecrow Contest, bakers Hanalee Pervan and her mother Catherine of One House Bakery in Benicia, California, created this lifesize ‘Pan Solo in Carbonite’ bread sculpture. Did it win the contest? I have no clue, but it certainly won my heart. And stomach. Now, where’s the butter and jam?

The sculpture is made entirely from dough and is currently on display in the front window of the One House Bakery but will make its way to the compost pile after Han has reached his best-by date. That’s a shame because I love stale bread. It’s like toast but without needing a toaster.

Obviously, what kind of Star Wars fan would I be if I didn’t include an “I loaf you,” “I dough,” joke in here somewhere, so consider this that joke. Now somebody bake me a Death Star cake, I’m so hungry I could eat a tauntaun.

Giant LEGO Han Solo Minifig Gets Frozen in Carbonite

Posted on by

A group of LEGO builders recently built a giant 8-foot by 4-foot LEGO Han Solo in carbonite. Because why not? It was made to promote the 2020 release of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga at the 2019 Electronic Entertainment Expo aka E3.

The sculpture was made from 49,735 individual LEGO pieces, took 38 hours to design, and 210 hours to build. Too bad I can’t hang this up in my palace. Then again, it’s also too bad I don’t have Slave Leia kneeling beside my throne either. But I do have my own Salacious Crumb sitting nearby and cackling every time I make a joke. Long story.

Large LEGO Model – Han Solo in Carbonite – E3 2019

Save your strength! A large LEGO model of Han Solo in Carbonite is celebrating the reveal of the new LEGO Star Wars video game at E3 2019.

Posted by LEGO on Thursday, June 13, 2019

So far I haven’t heard any reports that a bounty hunter snuck into E3 at night and defrosted Minifig Solo, but I would be very disappointed if this didn’t happen. Maybe a Jedi like me should go rescue him. Nah, I’m not up for fighting a Rancor monster and battling on several sail barges. Let someone else handle it.

Star Wars Han Solo in Carbonite Halloween Costume

Posted on by

This Halloween, earn that candy by playing on people’s emotions. Once they see you in this amazing Han Solo in Carbonite Halloween Costume, they will be transported back to the moment that Han was frozen by Jabba and they will feel sorry for you and just shower you with candy. Like, they will drop whole bags of candy in your trick or treat bag, because it was sad when Han got stuck in the deep freeze.

You don’t even have to go trick or treating in this thing to have some fun on Halloween night either. You can redecorate a front room and turn it into Jabba’s palace, have someone dress up as Jabba the Hutt, while you dress up in this costume and prop yourself on the wall. Heck, you could put on a full reenactment of the movie scenes if you want… ten let the candy flow.

This costume inflates and the mask and gloves are separate pieces. It also has a battery operated fan to keep inflated. If you do wear this and go trick or treating, it will be fun when them friends complain about how cold it is, because you can tell them that at least they aren’t frozen in carbonite.

Han Solo in Carbonite Battery Pack Won’t Freeze Your Devices

Posted on by

Do you need more power? Of course, you do. A power bank is a good idea to keep your phone charged up while on the go. And as far as portable battery packs go, this officially-licensed Star Wars Han Solo in Carbonite power bank is one of the coolest. No pun intended.

This 8000 mAh power bank is a mini replica of Han frozen in a block of carbonite. If only we could have frozen “Solo” before it hit theaters. Am I right? Never be without power again while always having a piece of the real Star Wars saga with you.

It’s got enough power to charge most smartphones up to 2.5 times, along with dual USB outputs and you can charge two devices (Android, iOS, or both) simultaneously. It recharges via micro USB which is included. This is a great gift for any Star Wars fan, and it’s available now from The Fowndry for just $40.


Poor Han. First, he gets hit with a carbonite freeze, and now he has to charge your smartphone. Jabba really should have thought of that, instead of simply hanging him on a wall. Jabba wasn’t the brightest slug in the garden. I mean, don’t have your prisoner tied to you with a chain if you are fat with tiny T-Rex arms. I’m surprised he didn’t get choked years before Leia did it.

Frank Ippolito Builds Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite Refrigerator

Posted on by

If you want the best props and costumes possible, you better get some help from a movie effects artist like Frank Ippolito, who recently built a refrigerator that looks exactly like Han Solo frozen in carbonite. It’s even got that cool red glowing effect behind the carbonite.

Jabba the Hutt would love it since it’s loaded with food and drinks, and he loves to show off his trophies too. But if you accidentally leave it open overnight, does Han thaw and get rescued? I have no idea. I just know that I would love to have this thing in my kitchen. He recently showed off the build to Tested editor Norman Chan:

You can check out some pics of the build on The RPF. If you want a smaller version of this fridge, be sure to check out ThinkGeek, who sells a ready made one, and it’s on sale for just $99.99. It’s not nearly as big or awesome as Frank’s, but it’s still pretty cool.

Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite Plush: Han Softo

Posted on by

I remember watching The Empire Strikes Back as a kid for the first time. When Lando betrayed Han and Han ended up frozen I wanted to kill Lando. If you are a fan of that scene and want a new plush to love (I know) you will want this plush Han Solo in carbonite doll… (nope)… stuffed animal… (nope)… whatever it is, you want it.

It’s much softer than real carbonite and debuted at the ThinkGeek SDCC booth this year. You can get it directly from the website if you missed it at the show. It sells for a scant $11.99 at ThinkGeek, a fraction of the bounty on Han. It’s 7.75″ (h) x 5.5″ (w) x 3.5″ (d), and meant for ages 3 and up. It might make a nice little pillow for watching the movies for the 197,965th time.

Han Solo in Carbonite Backpack: Leave It Frozen

Posted on by

We all love Han Solo in carbonite merchandise, but this backpack is just wrong. I’m pretty sure it’s that giant deformed head, and tiny hands and feet that make this so horrible.
han_backpack_1zoom in

If Han actually looked like this in the movie, they would have just let Jabba have him. And Jabba would have passed on the idea of hanging Han on the wall. Jabba is a gangster with a fine taste for art after all. Nobody wants this on their wall. How about your back? Do you want this nightmare clinging to you all day? It looks like it is begging for the sweet release of death.

If this abomination doesn’t bother you, it is only $39.99(USD). You can pre-order it now for a November release. Just don’t blame me when it arrives.

Han Solo Carbonite Coffin Coffee Table: Only from IKEA Cloud City

Posted on by

The latest collectible from Awe Me’s Super Fan Builds is a coffee table based on Han Solo’s carbonite block. Because the metallic block could’ve been Han’s coffin if he wasn’t reanimated, Super Fan Builds built the table using an actual wooden coffin as its base.

han_solo_carbonite_coffin_coffee_table_super_fan_builds_1zoom in

Super Fan Builds built the morbid table for Ray Choi. Ray is a member of the 501st Legion, the world famous group of Star Wars cosplayers that use their talents and costumes to participate in charitable events. As the icing on this cold death cake, Super Fan Builds put Ray’s face on Han’s frozen body and gave him a Han Solo costume.

This is one of the few presents that’s equally appropriate for someone you love and someone you hate.
