Carbonite/Legends



Carbonite was a metal alloy that was made from carbon. It was mixed with Tibanna gas to compress and flash-freeze the gas into blocks for transport. The Empress Teta system was a source for carbonite.

In some locales, carbonite was also used to preserve the bodies of the dead. On Coruscant Senator Viento was buried in this manner in the Senatorial Tombs.

Han Solo was frozen in carbonite. The procedure left him in suspended animation. Moruth Doole froze the body of the former warden of the Kessel prison system in carbonite in his office as a trophy.

Behind the scenes
