They are racist!

That said, from what I've read, Chewie had a life bond with Han Solo, who had rescued Chewie from slavery/servitude. Insofar as we all want to play guessing games with fiction, maybe Chewie didn't feel right in accepting an award for essentially doing his duty?

In the film, he does not. It was just one of those odd things. No explanation is given on the DVD commentary. One would even think that, since Lucas put in all those changes, not a simple insert shot of Chewie getting a medal, and/or CGI a medal on him...I mean, you know, with all that stuff about who shot first Han or Greedo...if Lucas changed up the awards ceremony so Chew got his goodies nobody would have bitched at Lucas. My thought process is that was a Wookie thing, Wookies don't like getting medals. My best guess is that during the production of Star Wars, they were working with a budget and only could make two medals (or three were made and only two show up)...but these possibilities are the stuff of legend. Anyway, good post, John! I have always said that the last line in A New Hope was Chewie's bitching over the whole thing. Ladies and gentlemen:
