The frozen form of Han Solo is transported via repulsorlift.
Repulsorlift was a technology leveraged to generate thrust, enabling vehicles to float or even take flight above a planet's surface by counteracting its gravity. These engines, sometimes referred to as "antigravs", worked by generating negative gravity fields, known as "repulsor fields", to counteract the natural gravitational pull of a planet.
Repulsorcrafts was the term used to describe vehicles that depended on repulsorlift technology as their main source of movement, such as speeder bikes. Bakur Repulsor Corporation was one of the companies that produced these engines, while Aratech Repulsor Company manufactured vehicles that used this technology. Examples of vehicles employing repulsorlift technology include the Gian heavy patrol speeder, the Single Trooper Aerial Platform (STAP), the Flash speeder, the AAT Battle Tank, and patrol transports.
On starships, repulsorlift engines served as a supplemental means of propulsion, typically used for atmospheric flight and docking maneuvers. Many vessels, such as the YT-1300 light freighter, had a dedicated fusion generator to provide power to the repulsorlifts. However, smaller craft, like the X-wing starfighter, obtained the energy for their repulsorlifts from the sublight engines.
Repulsorlift technology also found applications in common, everyday items like chairs and speaking platforms. Furthermore, repulsor technology could be adapted for offensive purposes, creating shockwaves that could repel opponents, similar to a Force push. This was notably seen in Mandalorian vambraces and used by the Haxion Brood's bounty hunters.
