In Disney Star Wars Canon, Leia was frozen too

Okay, but why is it asinine and stupid? I genuinely don't get why you don't like it.
I can see not feeling it based on the idea that it feels repetitive. But I don't read the comics, so it could still be brilliantly done and perfect for the story they are telling.
Pretty much nails it. Plus, Star Wars and Star Trek are different franchises with different rules. Star Wars uses more outside sources for canon where Star Trek tends to stick with what's on screen.
In Star Wars, the animated shows are canon. In Star Trek, they are not. Same with print material. Their choice. Personally, I would think if there are contradictions, there should be a hierarchy.
In Star Wars, for me, it would be movies first, then live TV, then cartoons, then print. To the extent things contradict, I would give weight to the original trilogy first, then the prequels, then the sequels.
And Han shot first.
No, not really.
Actually Star Trek: The Animated Series has been considered canon for quite a while now. It's been referred to in the later shows, and books and comics pretty consistently for quite a while now. The whole non-canon thing was just for short time because Rodenberry or one of his people didn't like it.
And I'm pretty sure they've said that Lower Decks and the Nickelodeon show, which I think is being called Protege, are both going to be considered canon.
You're describing the infamous and maligned tiers of canon from the old EU.
Works for me.
Because DISNEY!!!!!!!!!!
They are the company that launched the YouTube careers of thousands of complaining neckbeards.
Neckbeards FTW!
Giving hope to basement dwellers everywhere.
Anakin and Obi-Wan were frozen in carbonite too, in TCW. Ahsoka, too. The episode was "The Citadel," which is a great episode, by the way, with parts 2 and 3 "Counterattack" and "Citadel Rescue."
Carbonite - your one stop storage solution!
Nothing. It's the same stuff as always. I saw carbon freezing happening in lots of different mediums long before Clone Wars. Clone Wars used it, Mandalorian used it and the comics used it.
Nonissue is a nonissue.
Where did you see carbon freeze used before Clone Wars? I thought that was an original idea (well, I know it was originally from Empire). Was it in cimics? Books?
Books, comics and video games.
That one might bother me to a degree. It seemed no one knew what effect freezing someone would have until they did it to Han Solo. Though if it was a good story, it is something I would tend to let pass.
I'm in the category "I don't mind breaking continuity, I just want the story to be worth it".
Obi-Wan and R2 were at that point absent from Cloud City. Vader had the idea to freeze Luke in the first place and test it on Solo. There's no other overlap of personnel. Lando's concern was that the facility at Cloud City wasn't designed for the process. I think it works.
