Sad news indeed, Beam. I wouldn't doubt it if your less articulation hypothesis is accurate, my instincts tell me that Hasbro probably wants to subtly lessen excessive articulation for cost reasons on ALL of their lines. Clearly that didn't work out so well with Joes, as DePriest even admitted that it was a mistake and won't happen again (with Joes, at least). They probably need to choose their battles and pick the lines that will and won't have those details. I don't want that to happen to Marvel figures but if I have to choose one line of figures to stay fully articulated it will always be Joes. I even boycotted Wave 1 Retaliation Roadblock and Duke (I admittedly caven on CC though) because of their awful lack of simple ankle articulation. It would have been ok in 1982, 1992 or 2002, but not in 2012.

I've been wondering- does the Carbonite block that comes with the Slave 1 actually include a Han figure inside it or elsewhere? Or is it just the accessory? It says "Han Solo in Carbonite FIGURE", which makes me suspicious.
