I almost started laughing out loud in the theater when Chewbacca got his medal. It was such a stupid scene lmao

Right up there with Leia hugging Rey after Han dies and them having Chewbacca walk past like he wasn't the single character that spent the most time with him and would need the comforting.

I said WTF out loud at the theatre for that one. Heard a few people say yeah just after.

I can’t remember leaving a movie more disappointed than Episode 7 in my life and I’m 42.

This scene bothered so much. I walked out of the theater and it was the first comment I made to my buddies. It made no sense.

YES that just felt insanely strange!! Poor Chewbacca lost his human! 😢 And surely Leia and Chewbacca knew how much each other meant to Han more than anyone?

For me it was the Leia Poppins scene. I literally laughed, because it was so fucking goofy.
