Something I've seen many times: no matter how good a person's grasp of a foreign language is, humans always count their money using their native language.
Chewbacca's existence in the prequel (singular) was the only one that made sense. It explained why, later, he was talking with Obi-Wan in the bar before they even met Han. It explains why he didn't get a medal after they blew up the Death Star. The existence of C-3PO is the one that doesn't make sense. That's quite a coincidence that Darth Vader is the person who built him (and on Tattooine; another coincidence!) Cool thing is, in all of the original movies, C-3PO and Darth never saw each other.
The same reason why the Chinese haven't dropped their picture-based alphabet in favor of a phonetic-based alphabet like every other country uses. Culture and tradition. I never heard that about metres vs. meters; it makes sense. Also, a 'kilometre' is not a device that measures kilos, so it does not rhyme with 'thermometer' and 'altimeter'. A kilometre is a unit of distance, so it rhymes with 'centimetre' and 'millimetre'.
Also, who is the dirty woman below the Ghostbusters?
Looks like 2018 fashion to me. That's exactly how I dress.
