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.
“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.”
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]”.
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
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!
“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.”
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.)
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.
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.
