meet han solo, smuggler, rebel pilot and eventually general, and all-around charmer, while he's still frozen in carbonite in jabba the hutt's lair on tatooine, before being freed by his comrades ...

'stars wars identities' exhibition, vienna's museum of applied arts

(excuse the reflections, but han solo was kept behind glass - as if carbonite wasn't enough already! - and there was no way to avoid them ...)

He was perhaps my favorite character in the star wars films.

@Michael Skorulski: mine, too, actually, even in the most recent movie ...

Dany Hèm-Kervran from Morillon, France

I'm not an expert in "Star Wars", but Han Solo had my preference.
And I appreciate Harrison Ford !
Impressive process here, and your photo deserves the "very good quality" label, Franz.

This is superb - the 'difficulties' have made their own contribution to the 5-stars !
