    Didn’t they retcon this in 9?

    Er, at least the fact Chewie got a medal. Of course he still got ceremonially shafted. lol

      I haven’t read it since middle school, more than 40 years ago, but I think I recall the Star Wars novelization (of A New Hope’s screen play) stated that Chewie was getting a medal too, but that he’s have to wait because Leia was to short to present it to him the same as she did for Luke and Han.

        I have a copy!

        The novelisation also has all the Biggs scenes and tells us Luke had a puppy as a child.

        It also implies that the moisture farmers didn’t just harvest water, they actually used that water for farming crops (was it hydroponics? It’s been a while since I read it).

          Nice, thanks for digging that up. It’s different than I remembered, but the important part is the same, Chewie got a medal.
