Han Solo in Carbonite desk

Juniper Foo | Feb 25, 2008

I've been a fan of Han Solo since the roguish spice smuggler first appeared in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, blaster pistols blazing to save the Empire. Or more rather, his skin. So if you're a hardcore fan of the Millennium Falcon's captain, step away from this. There's only one piece out there of Solo frozen in carbonite (Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back), custom made by Tom Spina Designs for a client seeking a combination desk and art piece. So look, but no touch.

Still, if the Force is with you, in addition to a healthy chunk of change to bribe the design house, you won't get an exact copy, but who's to say there won't be A New Hope?

However, as we reckon Solo would wryly say, "I've got a bad feeling about this" (Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, before the walls of the trash compactor start to close). So best to suck it up and settle instead for this tutorial on how to make your own Han Solo in Carbonite chocolate bar.
