The wookie was only taking orders. He certainly showed valor under fire, but, in the end, it simply wasn’t his decision to make." LOL. You are acting as if this was the military! We are talking about the frakking *REBEL ALLIANCE* here. They don't even have proper uniforms! Have you seen what all the generals are wearing prior to the Battle of Endor? :D “and I replied that, as Captain of the vessel that helped save the day, it was Han Solo’s call that they do what they did.

Interesting points, but I still think Chewy deserved some love. If the medals were for hygiene then maybe you are right though, I can't argue that :D @lostnbronx – Ha, I love how everyone is getting worked up about this Star Wars argument.

The wookie was only taking orders. He certainly showed valor under fire, but, in the end, it simply wasn't his decision to make. And, anyway, we don't even know what those metals were technically for...they could have been for good hygiene, or perfect attendance.

Leia knew this so she waited after the ceremony to give it to him. We have the tape... I am Chewbacca, I am a Wookie Wookies?

As if he cares, he can go back to Skywalker ranch and jump into his swimming pool of money, all while laughing at us :) @Fab – Then he should have spent a bit longer, the plot holes in the Star Wars universe are well documented.

They're a bit like GPL violations, you could find one every day if you really looked. Lucas didn't spend long on the plot :D @Fab – Star Wars is full of plot holes I agree.

Cap'n Tightpants for sure... :D Before you go all ballistic on the Rebel Alliance, remember that after the Battle of Yavin, they were still very much a ragtag group of broke scoundrels, even if they had a princess in their ranks. I'm sure they made these medals five minutes prior to the celebration out of discarded X-Wing blaster couplings. The probably didn't have a decorative band long enough to fit around Chewie's neck. Maybe they'd used it all up for Han's medal. Also, remember how he reacts when people he doesn't know touch him. Maybe that Admiral was scared... ;) On that account, can someone explain to me how Lea is a princess when she's the adopted daughter of a mere senator and nobody is supposed to know Amidala was her mother? Sounds like a plot hole to me! Credit to my girlfriend for figuring that out, I'd always thought people should pay her to find faults like this. You listening, Mr. George Lucas? :P I rather like my strapping pants in that picture, LOL. Cap’n Tightpants for sure… :D

I believe in justice for all, and Wookies are 'people' as much as we are. I will join your Justice for Wookies campaign. I believe in justice for all, and Wookies are ‘people’ as much as we are.
