Chewie just kind of... gets that medal he should have got back in 1977
For me that was the worst bit of fanservice. I hate it when memefied nitpicking like that gets rewarded by canon. If there'd been a mirror of the ceremony in ANH, and this time Chewie gets the medal it would have been a nice nod to the original trilogy, but now it just came across to me like something designed to be memed.
And I'm with you on letting go. I'm still slightly curious about the upcoming Obi Wan show, but I would have been happy if this would have been the end. Alas, Disney will probably milk the franchise dry with dozens of sequels, prequels, sidequels and reboots in the next ten years.
