A New Sith, or Revenge of the Hope

Han and Luke get medals but Chewie doesn’t. Actually, Leia offers him one but Chewie turns it down. He got one of those things from Yoda about 20 years ago, but there’s no way he can tell her that. —A New Sith, or Revenge of the Hope (Mornignstar)

A great little detail that really helps this fan re-interpretation of the first Star Wars trilogy, in what we learned about the backstory during the second trilogy.

A good dose of Occam’s Razor would wipe out much of this essay, but it was still fun to read.
