No. They book a second round trip in the the opposite direction. Say i’m in DC and want to spend the holidays in London.

After watching as much of that YouTube reaction video as I could stomach (10 seconds), I am so very glad I live in a country where people SHUT THE FUCK UP while watching a film. Even though at my equivalent opening-night viewing you could sense the excitement bristling through the audience, the relative silence

I don’t wike it. I want a proper spy thriller, full of information gathering and manipulation and not knowing who to trust, not old friends getting back together to jump out of planes.

If they'd only cast Erika Eleniak as Elliot's wife, it would've been perfect.

“I learned it by watching YOU, AVClub!”

You’re missing some Campari in your Negroni...

No they don’t! You wrote them! I saw you doing it!

Of course, back then no one had heard of Scarlett Johnasson.

Counterpoint: Who cares, that movie is awesome.

My head-canon is that Boba Fett was running his mouth about it at Jabba’s palace so much (plus Han was a wall decoration) that other bounty hunters who did business with Jabba heard about it or saw it firsthand (before Luke and co. busted his shit up), and word spread quick through the bounty-hunting community.

The equipment they used on Cloud City was used for freezing tibana gas, not people. That’s what Boba Fett was worried about and why Vader wanted to test it first.

Yeah- I was kind of thrown off by that too, I figured it generally wasn’t used on life forms and was a bit risky. But it could also just be that Cloud City itself wasn’t equipped to do it. 

I don’t care for that explanation. The one Wolfman proposes seems more logical.

Boba Fett delievered Han to Jabba to much acclaim, word probably spread around because of that (is an easy to accept explanation for this).

Gonna be hard for Boba Fett to spread the word while he’s being slowly digested by a Sarlacc.

I’ve heard some nerds explain that the freezer in Empire was industrial and not made for living creatures but that proper people carbon freezing is common.

That was my take. Though I wouldn’t pitch it as Boba Fett doing TED talks on bounty hunter best practices. Remember, Han Solo was framed in carbonite on Jabba’s wall for ... like a year (or whatever the timeframe was), so a lot of undesirables would have seen that, and Jabba’s enjoyment of it, and began replicating.

Possibly the first time something came OUT of King’s nose.

What if they made an even more problematic version?
