Ever since I first saw Empire Strikes Back, I’ve been wondering if Carbonite is a brand name? Is it like the way people say ‘Kleenex’ insted of tissue or ‘Rollerblade’ insted of inline skate? Or is it just a material that they mined in Bespin?
Related to that, is it a real material or is it something that George Lucas made up? If it is made up, does the computer back-up company called Carbonite have to pay Lucas Films?
Anyway, I really hope that some day (after I win the lottery) I can have one of these hanging at the end of a long hallway in my (giant) house.
