Yes, IIRC, that came from a RotJ-era interview about future Star Wars movies. Lucas said the sequels would be about "a character frozen in Star Wars III, and their adventures." Maybe someone else knows the exact context.
In this thread we've already discussed Han being frozen for the 20 year span between Episode VI and VII. That's similar to the plotpoint you brought up.
