So long as we're scrutinzing...how did Han's hands go from being bound behind his back to free and up in front of him? I know we geeks have come up with some story to explain that. So what is it and where does it come from?
Well his arms are in front of him, he could bend his elbows just not extend his arms. A better question would be, how come the bindings are gone when he's let loose, if the carbonite could destroy them, how could Han survive the same chemical reaction.
