Carbonite Special Effects Question
 I've been wondering about this one for years now...
In ESB, when Luke is wandering the corridors of Cloud City, and sees the Imperial officers push floating Han-in-Carbo, right before Boba fires at him... how the hell did they achieve the floating effect? I can't figure it out. You see it again when they "put captain Solo in the cargo hold". Are there wheels which were airbrushed (or "vaselined") away, like the landspeeder? It all just seems so... real. Anyone ever see this in a making of?

I take they either used the vaseline and mirror trick they used like the speeder in ANH or used blue screen

Then it'll probably be the vaseline and mirror one, because I highly doubt they used blue screen on it. I'm 90% sure the actors and carbonite block were filmed on set, because you would be able to see tell-tale blue screen signs such as matte lines (in 1980, anyway, not in the prequels).
And yes, please explain further, because I still don't get it...

There are wires at the end of the trolley which han is lying on. If you look closely you can see them when Luke is watching him being pushed. As a kid I thought that was one of the simplest yet most effective effects in the whole trilogy.

It is very good special effects that is all I can say!Anyway a blue screan would help it look like it is flating but not and we really have no idea how heavy it is.
It could be light as far as we know.JM

you do know I mean that you wrap the bluescreen around the underside of the trolly the carbonite is on, right?

All they needed was a couple of wires to achieve such a simple, brilliant effect.
My, how times have changed.
