ĭuring the Galactic Civil War, Skywalker, now Darth Vader, intended to trap his son Luke in carbonite on Bespin. They used a large facility housed in the Jedi Temple to freeze themselves in carbonite, as a means to smuggle their team past the prison facility's life-form scanners. ĭuring the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and the clone troopers under their command embarked on an extraction mission to the Citadel on Lola Sayu. The earliest known use of carbon freezing living victims to be displayed as trophies dated back thousands of years to the ancient Krath and their conquest of the carbonite mines of the Empress Teta system. However, with some modification industrial grade freezing chambers could be modified into a crude and indeed painful means of bio-stasis sometimes described as "a big wide-awake nothing." At various times the likes of Imperials, bounty hunters, and underworld gangsters were known to use this cruel but effective method. Only industrial applications remained in common usage, typically for freezing coaxium, tibanna, and other volatile cargoes for transport. Over time the use of carbon freezing dropped off as the advent of hyperdrives eliminated the need for such extended voyages, and bio-enthropic field generators became standard for medical stasis applications. Ushering a new age of exploration that expanded the pre- Republic borders, carbonite freezing was employed aboard ancient sleeper ships to keep crews alive in extended periods of hibernation as they traversed interstellar space. The discovery of the peculiar stasis qualities of carbonite by the scientists from the planet Koros Major saw the end of generation ships and development of sleeper ships. " Are, uh, we sure this thing is safe? I don't wanna end up a wall decoration." ― ARC trooper " Fives," before the Battle of Lola Sayu
