Bahnd, in I'm still angry about this. They ever give a reason?

I know this is a meme, but I think the simplest answer is filming. Chewy is really tall, if he stands on a lower step, the main cast is all in the same shot.

bzLem0n,

This IS the answer, everyone else is justifying it after the fact or just making shit up.

So give him the medal, then have him standing where he is in the final shot.

George Lucas Explained Why Chewbacca Didn’t Get A Medal In 1977

“Chewbacca wasn’t given a medal because medals don’t really mean much to Wookiees. They don’t really put too much credence in them. They have different kinds of ceremonies. The Wookiee Chewbacca was in fact given a great prize and honor during a ceremony with his own people. The whole contingent from the Rebel Alliance went to Chewbacca’s people and participated in a very large celebration. It was an honor for the entire Wookiee race.”

That is such a last minute scramble of an answer. “Fuck we forgot to give the furball a medal and people noticed… WAIT I GOT IT! They actually went over to the Wookies planet and they all partied and it was dope. Chewie didn’t want a medal because he got an awesome party instead. The whole race was honored. It was amazing. You had to be there.”

PhlubbaDubba,

I mean it’s not the most implausible retcon

deadbeef79000,

Anytime a filmmaker says that things happen off screen they making it up.

If they say it was cut and left on the cutting room floor: then it’s probably true.

There’s a bunch of goofs on IMDB for various Michal Bay films, every goof has a reply along the lines of “there is no reason that [X] couldn’t have happened off screen to [resolve gaping plot hole]”.

Alexstarfire,

Pretty sure it’s all made up.

deadbeef79000,

Well yeah, is fiction.

The point is when was it made up?

A wizard did it.

SkybreakerEngineer,

VikingHippie,

Don’t Hollywood types always say “show, don’t tell?”

Seems kinda like when JK Rowling made Dumbledore gay as an apparent afterthought…

Gyrolemmy,

This was clearly an afterthought.

VikingHippie,

True. I was being deliberately over-diplomatic for once 😁

hemko,

Whole starwars lore is an afterthought lmao

nonailsleft,

No no no clearly the actor was told to show the emotion of someone who finds the whole show laughable and is already warming to the idea of the much better celebration that’s being prepared on his home planet. You can see the sparkle in his eyes, especially in the remastered edition

TWeaK, in My money is on the whales.

You can tell this is fantasy because Blue Origin have no signs of a rocket that can actually get to orbit.

SpaceNoodle,

But Dave Limp is on the job now! He’s got the perfect track record of gutting Alexa and giving up on device innovation while moving engineering to China!

Pets don’t get medals!

Except

Apparently dogs DO get medals, but Chewie gets passed over. Chewbacca has sub-pet status.

feney1282,

I’ve seen the argument that since the average wookiees lives for 400 years and humans around 80, that Han could be considered Chewie’s pet.

milicent_bystandr,

“There there, Han, me boy. Well done! Look at you! You got a medal and everything, from your little friends! You’re such a good little scoundrel, yes you are.”

RavenFellBlade,
@RavenFellBlade@startrek.website avatar

This is now my headcanon. Han is Chewie’s goodest boy!

Tb0n3, in My money is on the whales.

There’s also not wealthy people who sail and still get attacked.

WalrusDragonOnABike,

Name one non-wealthy person attacked by space orcas.

RHSJack,

First, beat me by 4 hours. B, I knew a guy. Dang it, what was his name…Tom. Military guy. Major or something. Major Tom Something.

Sunforged,

Tell my wife I love her!

TigrisMorte,

very much. She knows.

Anticorp,

I am poor as hell, and those space orcas are no joke

foyrkopp, (edited ) in I'm still angry about this. They ever give a reason?

Arguably, that’s actually plausible

  • No one claimed the Alliance were free from casual racism. They may be trying, but their personal culture was formed by decades of imperial rule.
  • Those medals are for “command staff” only. Han is the captain of the MF and Luke is the acting squad leader of Red Squad (you might notice that the veteran, who missed his shot but survived, doesn’t get a medal, either.)
TheRealKuni, in Mos Eisley?!? Mos I'd-Rather-Be-Anywhere-Else more like! [BOW]

Mos Espa? More like Mos Vespa!

…cause…cause they drive those…shitty hover Vespas…

crickets

Thank you! I’ll be here all week!

CarbonatedPastaSauce, in My money is on the whales.

If only. Imagine a world where non-human life could understand what the rich were doing to the planet and act accordingly. Swarms of mosquitos, wasps, random howler monkeys ambushing them. Birds absolutely showering everything they owned in crap. It would be glorious.

marcos,

Orcas have declared war on yachts on some places.

CADmonkey, in Syril's mum likes to think she's a Karntent Kreator. [BOW]

My wife hated Syril’s mom. Mostly, its because Syril’s mom acts like her mom, only less hostile.

RampantParanoia2365, in Don't have a lightsaber but I do have a baseball bat, you little shit

I don’t get it.

Person in the image is contacting anakin skywalker to kill the youngling that messaged them

RampantParanoia2365,

Thank you.

sounddrill, in Mos Eisley?!? Mos I'd-Rather-Be-Anywhere-Else more like! [BOW]

You should see the xda namecalling spreadsheet we made for every phone brand

Deconceptualist, in Mos Eisley?!? Mos I'd-Rather-Be-Anywhere-Else more like! [BOW]

Can you really blame Obi-Wan? He was in exile for decades on a scummy planet. You’d be grumpy too if you were surrounded by nothing but criminals and sand. In particular I heard that Tattoine sand is coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

CaptainFlintlockFinn, in admit it
