Lifesize ‘Pan Solo in Carbonite’ Bread Sculpture

Posted on 18/10/2022 by hite

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 17/06/2019 by Conner Flynn

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 17/09/2018 by Conner Flynn

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.

An Awesome Rubberband Version of Han Solo’s Blaster

Posted on 21/08/2018 by Conner Flynn

Han Solo’s iconic sidearm, the DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol is a solid sci-fi gun. The design is rugged and cool, plus it shoots lasers. What more do you need? These qualities make it an instant classic. But if you prefer rubber bands to lasers, Slingshot Channel’s Joerg Sprave has made that a reality.

This wooden replica gets the details just right. The other thing that makes this blaster replica stand out is that it looks like it is shooting lasers. This was accomplished by using miniature glowsticks as projectiles. That’s a pretty genius idea. Leave it to Joerg to come up with this.

I would pew pew pew all day long with this gun. Of course, range and accuracy leave a lot to be desired here, but that is to be expected. This blaster just looks so cool and he did a great job giving it that weathered and worn-in look. See it in action in the video and you will want one for yourself.

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

Posted on 08/07/2018 by Conner Flynn

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.

Dad Tries to Convince Son Why Harrison Ford is the Real Solo

Posted on 30/05/2018 by Shane McGlaun

Growing up in the ’80s meant each Christmas I asked for “all the Star Wars toys”… and sadly that never happened. Still, I had lots of that Star Wars stuff down to the sheets, comforter, and curtains in my room. I never had the Luke Skywalker action figure though because it was always sold out. One of my greatest parenting failures is that my daughter thinks the best Star Was Film is Episode III.

I’m not a huge fan of what has become of Star Wars over the last handful of films, and now with Solo, we’re starting to lose touch with the original actors who defined the franchise. If Disney continues to go where they’re going, it’s possible kids will have no idea who Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford were.

In this amusing video from School of Dad, Dad is having a tough time convincing his son that Harrison Ford is the one and only Han Solo. Sadly, things don’t go so well when he tries to persuade the kid that Ford is irreplaceable, and the youngster starts to think like a Hollywood executive.

I often wonder how George Lucas feels about what is happening to his iconic franchise. He’s probably just fine sitting on his throne made of stacked $100 bills wearing a Darth Vader mask.

These Han Solo Sneakers Have Soul… O

Posted on 02/04/2018 by Conner Flynn

Han Solo is one of the best characters in movie history. Everything about the Millennium Falcon’s Captain is iconic. He’s a scoundrel, he’s got the swagger, even his outfit kicks butt. This dude’s hair is always perfect. The way the holster and blaster hang off of his hip, that vest, those stripes on his pants… Han is the man. Now you can take a fashion cue from Han with these cool Han Solo sneakers.

Po-Zu has added a Solo-inspired sneaker to their officially licensed Star Wars shoe collection. The design keeps things simple, but the Corellian Bloodstripe along the side is stunning nonetheless. These shoes are crafted with sustainable materials and environmentally friendly production processes as well. The coconut fiber and latex memory foam insole keeps things comfortable too.

The Han Solo sneaker is available to pre-order right here for about $97 with delivery scheduled for May. That when you and your family can make jokes like, “I thought they smelled bad on the outside”.

Honestly, this is one of the cooler pairs of Star Wars themed sneakers that you can buy. Don’t miss out on these. You’ll do the Kessel Run in record time. With your feet of course.

Han Solo and Chewbacca High Heels: Shoe Wars

Posted on 08/03/2017 by Conner Flynn

Etsy seller Orions Originals make custom geeky shoes, including these awesome Han Solo and Chewbacca high heels that are just perfect for any lady who has a Millennium Falcon dress.

Actually, forget the Falcon dress. These shoes need matching pants. One leg can be Han Solo’s striped pants with blaster and holster, the other a hairy Wookiee leg.

If you love both Han and Chewy, but can’t pick a favorite, these are the shoes for you. They certainly make a statement. $200(USD) seems like a steal for these custom made shoes – assuming you can pull off the look.

First Pic from the Set of Han Solo Star Wars Film Gives Away Codename

Posted on 31/01/2017 by Shane McGlaun

At this point we all know that a stand alone Han Solo Star Wars movie is in the works. The first image from the set of the film has just turned up and it is courtesy of co-director Chris Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The LEGO Movie, 21 Jump Street). It’s not a shot of a set or anything, just a photo of the clappy slat thing they use when filming movies.

I like that it’s codenamed Star Wars: Red Cup, as in red SOLO cup. His tweet also said “Han First Shot.” See what he did there? In terms of the standalone flicks, I really didn’t care for Rogue One, though it seems I am in the minority on that opinion. I’m looking forward to seeing this one though.

I hope the next standalone movie after this one is about Boba Fett.

Frank Ippolito Builds Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite Refrigerator

Posted on 12/08/2016 by Conner Flynn

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.
