Long enough for Luke to complete his Jedi training.

No more than a year.

Best answer: According to Wookieepedia, "Return of the Jedi begins in 4 ABY, one year after the events of The Empire Strikes Back (although the novelization gives the time period as six months)."

Best answer: Er, make that no more than two years. He could have been frozen January 1st, 3ABY and unfrozen December 31st, 4ABY. Assuming they use the Gregorian calendar in a galaxy far, far away, of course.

Best answer: About one year. The events of The Empire Strikes Back take place in 3 ABY, and Return of the Jedi takes place in 4 ABY.
