Trivia: Han Solo Appears in 'Firefly'

Have you ever noticed that Han Solo (Harrison Ford's iconic character from the original Star Wars trilogy) is hidden in the background in some sceenes of Joss Whedon's short lived sci-fi television series Firefly? Details and photos after the jump.

Yes, Han Solo actually appears in the background of various sequences (in carbonite form). According to legend, star Nathan Fillion was such a huge Star Wars fan that the props department stuck the 12″ Han Solo in Carbonite in the background of a couple scenes. See photos below from GeekWithCurves and TherPF Props Forum.
