In Depth: Han in Carbonite at Jabba's Palace Movie Set

 

In 2012, we created this full scale photo op / film set which replicates a scene from the film “Return of the Jedi”.

Our finished "Han Solo in Carbonite" prop made its debut at the Rialto Theater in Loveland, Colorado in March of 2012 where local members of the 501st costuming organization helped raise funds for the expansion of the local theater.

The first and smaller version of our set made its debut at a sci-fi convention called “Starfest” in Denver Colorado in April of 2012 which the 501st used to help raise funds for Noah Wardon, a little boy who needed a service dog. We then revealed our larger version of the set, after finishing the side walls, at Star Wars Celebration VI in 2012 where the 501st used it for their private bash party before moving it to the 501st room at the convention center in.
