Here's a question raised by that question, IF Vader is more machine than man, would he EVER eat ANYTHING? He is still somewhat of a man so you'd think you need food to survive if your human. :confused:

I can't remember, does Chewie walk down the aisle with Luke and Han? If he does he deserves that damn medal! If he didn't and was all ready there like C-3PO and R2-D2 then he doesn't deserve one! That's a really long walk! Anyone who walks down that deserves a medal.

A better question is why doesn't any of the other people who helped destroy the Death Star get a medal? What about all those people in the control room? They helped! And why not honor the dead? They gave THEIR LIVES for this! Those people deserve some kind of honor more than the "walking carpet" deserves a medal!

The real question is how all those Death Star workers weren't notified of the 1-missile weakness, worker protection agency!

Because Chewie didn't have a snazy yellow leather coat

That was part of my original thinking. I cant imagine Vader cooking up some chicken fingers for himself or sitting down to a fancy dinner party. I always just assumed he got an oil change or something every now and then. Remember in ESB, I believe, when one of his men walked in and they showed him with his helmet off sitting in that thing? I always thought that was his own personal Jiffy Lube.
