Are the Han Solo's hands tied behind him or not when he is carbonated? They are certainly not in the ROTJ but if this is a bug or not? I've wondered about that for quite a long time now...

I always thourght that he was hand cuffed, but then he came up with his hands up so I assumed they wernt.

you can se two of the little guys (ugnaughts I think they're called) go up to him just before he's lowered and do something to his hands, then the next shot is from behind and he is just holding his hands infront of him.

Its a goof--his hands are clearly cuffed when he descends into the pit. Kershner instruted the sculpter of the carbonite block that he wanted Han to look like he was in agaony and struggling to break free of the mold--i think he even may have had them redo the original design. So this is why there is the discontiuity. Theres various fan explanations but the truth is that its a simple continuity error. Because its a movie.

I've always though that because of the freezing process of the carbonite, it has be easy for Han to break the freezed "shackles" during the few seconds before he's entirely freezed himself.
