Why Didn't Wedge Antilles Get a Medal After the Battle of Yavin? #starwars

Why didnā€™t Wedge Antilles get a medal? He was more involved in the Battle of Yavin than Han was! I think the real reason is because, again, the movie isnā€™t about Wedge. I think the real reason is because the movie isnā€™t about Wedge. Some members of the audience probably would have been confused, wondering who the extra pilot was up on the stairs, especially when he was played by two separate actors and spent most of his screen time under a helmet. In-universe? Maybe Wedge turned the honor down, feeling some level of survivorsā€™ guilt. Or itā€™s possible he was given a different medal earlier in the ceremony. After all, he was part of the Rebel Alliance already, whereas Luke, Han, and Chewbacca were not. Perhaps they were awarded with the Medal of Bravery specifically because they helped destroy the Death Star despite having no obligation to. Other than the moral obligation, I should say.

I always assumed the ceremony continued after what we saw or was on going. In Harry Potter we don't see every pupil get sorted into their houses and we don't need to. Same with this.

Wedge is the OG Trilogy's most underrated character

I always thought this was about rescuing Leia.

Yes, but Wedge has TWO Death Star kills on the side of his X-Wing. šŸ˜

I'm so happy that I finally opened one of these shorts and the answer was "because he's not a main character and it wasn't in the script"

Wedge is probably teasing him afterwards anyway.

Because he pulled out.

Maybe Wedge is on the mission or maybe Wedge got another medal. šŸ‘

I still love in the comics they're like, we should probably leave here soon instead of having a ceremony since the Empire will retaliate.

Damn, I never thought about that and now I can never not think about, whenever I see that scene

Maybe Wedge's big moment came just as the movie credits hit the screen.
Perhaps if you translate Chewie's growl at the end of the scene it may be that Chewie actually says "Now the moment you've all been waiting for, please put your hands together for the star of the show....
Mr Wedge 'Kit Curran' Antilles, yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhh".

Wedge didnā€™t get a medal, the Y Wing pilot didnā€™t get a medal, and it took like 35 years for Chewie to get his. It isnā€™t fair.

We need a prequel movie to explain and explore this.

I find the Star Wars community's collective obsession over this ceremony hilarious. Growing up, it never once crossed my mind that Wedge, Chewie, or the Y-Wing pilot didn't get medals. The medals are not the point of the scene.

I am still waiting for my medal. šŸ˜¢

I know why. Wedge was just doing his Goddamn job as a rebel pilot. He was true air ace. He knew the struggle. He was an old timer. Luke, Han and the chums were all ā€˜embroiledā€™ in the struggle as pretty much outsiders until they all randomly came to help and saved the day themselves. Thatā€™s medal worthy for innocent bystanders getting involved.

The bigger mystery is why didn't Chewie get one...?

The real question is why didn't Chewie get one.
