45 Years Later, Star Wars Just Turned One Famous Tech Into A Force Of Nature

When Darth Vader forced Lando Calrissian to modify the carbon freezing chamber, Lando warned the Sith Lord that putting people into carbon freeze could prove fatal. And from the moment Han Solo was frozen in carbonite in The Empire Strikes Back, one aspect of Star Wars technology went on to redefine what was even possible in the faraway galaxy. Even as recently as The Mandalorian, carbon freezing technology has been treated as commonplace, no longer as dangerous as Lando made it sound in Empire.

That is, until now. In the sixth episode of Star Wars: Visions Season 3, “The Lost Ones,” the massive power of the carbon freeze isn’t just directed at one person at a time in a carbon freezing chamber. Instead, the episode imagines what would happen if the raw carbonite material were unleashed as a kind of storm.
