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.)
“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.”
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!
“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
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.
Han is the captain. The captain of a ship makes the calls as to what it does, and the Millennium Falcon came back.
I think a better question is why Luke gets special recognition versus the other pilots. I mean, he happened to be the one to make the final shot that blew up the Death Star, but everyone else in the squadrons went in too.
I have a friend from high school who looks and acts like what’s his face, and a better friend who is his mother who we ended up being coworkers for twenty years. She acts so much like the mom from the TV it was scary. I haven’t talked to either of them about this because, uh, yeah.
