Unlike Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford was only contracted to return for one Star Wars sequel. However, while this is the in-story, canon reason for the Carbonite freezing of Han Solo, there was actually another behind-the-scenes reason. Luthen's store, despite being a front for his illicit activity against the Empire, likely contains many valuable and fragile items, meaning it makes sense that he would use Carbonite to transport them - even if a replica of Indiana Jones' whip makes little sense beyond a fun easter egg.Īndor episode 4 showing the practical usage of Carbonite for storage does also further explain why it is used in bounty hunting, with the likes of Boba Fett and Din Djarin using Carbonite freezing to transport their own valuable bounty targets across the galaxy without resistance. Not only is this a neat easter egg to another of the studios' franchises, but it also provides a look at how Carbonite is properly used in the Star Wars universe outside of bounty hunting: transporting goods. The only visible item is a Carbonite version of Indiana Jones' iconic whip from Lucasfilm's other famous franchise.

Some of these include a reference to non-canon elements, such as Starkiller's dark side helmet from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. ![]()
