Okay. Those are all good reasons but "It was the 70s and he wasn't white" is definitely my favorite.
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
That is such a last minute scramble of an answer. "Fuck we forgot to give the furball a medal and people noticed... WAIT I GOT IT! They actually went over to the Wookies planet and they all partied and it was dope. Chewie didn't want a medal because he got an awesome party instead. The whole race was honored. It was amazing. You had to be there."

Anytime a filmmaker says that things happen off screen they making it up.
If they say it was cut and left on the cutting room floor: then it's probably true.
There's a bunch of goofs on IMDB for various Michal Bay films, every goof has a reply along the lines of "there is no reason that [X] couldn't have happened off screen to [resolve gaping plot hole]".
Pretty sure it's all made up.
Well yeah, is fiction.
The point is when was it made up?
A wizard did it.
I mean it's not the most implausible retcon
