At the same time just because something has never been done doesn’t mean it can’t be done.
If the movie makers are constrained by only what has been done in past movies then these movies might as well just be remakes. What made the OT so great was that it was all fresh ideas and things never seen before. People weren’t yelling “It’s impossible for a human with no special powers to survive being entrapped in carbonite”.
As I mentioned previously the issue of it never being done before would have more weight if it was a planned strategy or if it was mentioned as an option but it wasn’t. It was clearly a moment of desperation, where there were no other options, the ship was going to be lost anyways, and she was willing to sacrifice herself and the ship to save the few final members of the rebellion.
