Ever since Han , Luke , and Chewbaccatriumphantly stride through crowds of Rebel soldiers to mark their roles in the Death Star ’s demolition , Star Wars fans have facetiously wondered why the poor Wookiee was go forth out . Well the final outcome of Marvel ’s Chewbacca miniseries has an answer , all these year later .
Minor Spoilers ahead for Chewbacca # 5 , by Gerry Duggan , Phil Noto , and Joe Caramagna .
Perhaps recognize the same feel fans have take over Chewie had at the end of A New Hope , the wookiee sour around and clasp something around Zarro ’s cervix :

His medallion ! rick out Chewbacca had one after all , presumably given to him after the main ceremony . perchance Princess Leia did n’t desire to have to use a stool to get high enough to put one on him in front of so many Alliance soldier ? Or maybe Chewie was just being shy ?
Chewbacca goes on to tell Zarro that he ’s not too keen on having the medal anyway . It clash with his “ warrior vibe , ” according to Zarro ’s version of his roars . Poor guy cable , but at least we bang he was n’t leave out back on Yavin — or why we ’ll never see him with the laurel wreath again .
wonder ’s Star Wars cartoon strip have been doing a reasonably fun line of work of take in the gaps between the movies in Disney ’s novel canon . While it ’s been nice to theorize all these years about whatever bump to Chewie ’s medal ( because that ’s the sort of thing Star Wars fan get it on to do , let ’s be reliable ) , this is a middling cute means to touch on it in Disney ’s new prescribed capacity as custodians of all things Star Wars .
