Kicker: Pan Solo

NICK EICHER, HOST: Star Wars fans will no doubt remember the moment in the Empire Strikes Back when Han Solo was frozen in carbonite.

CLIP: Did he survive?
Yes, he’s alive and in perfect hibernation.

Well, a California bakery recently recreated that iconic Hollywood scene.

Catherine Pervan and daughter Hannalee are the owners of One House Bakery in San Francisco.

They used dough to make an image of Harrison Ford in a work of art they dubbed “Pan Solo.” They created the masterpiece for the town of Benicia’s 15th annual Scarecrow Contest.

The bakery has previously found fame for dough sculptures of other sci-fi and Star Wars characters, including “baby Yoda” from the Mandalorian series. But of course they called it “Baby Dough-da.”

It’s The World and Everything in It.
