I dunno... of course, I'd like to know why the unmasked Anakin/Vader looks like a 65 year-old man in Jedi, when he'd only be in his early 40's.

Or why Chewie doesn't seem to object Han's constant attacks on the Jedi and their religion when he so closely worked with them in the past.

1) Because of the aging effect of using the dark side of the force. Look at the emperor's face for example. Also, he was burned over his whole body including his face, and if you think about how much sunburns can age your skin and then multiply that effect by how much the lava burned him...

2)Maybe Chewie does object to Han's remarks and that's what he's always howling about. Unless you speak "Wookish" you'll never know. Or perhaps Chewie is like a Freeper who has a longtime liberal friend who has been taken in by the "hate Bush" rhetoric. You maintain the friendship and wait for the day that they finally realize they've been duped by irrational fearmongers and sheepishly come to their senses.

The guy playing him was actually 78 at the time.
