I literally pictured a moon falling on Chewie, rather than the moon crashing into the planet.

IIRC, in the Chewie comic TK-949 mentioned, Threepio goes around recording stories from friends, family, even a couple foes, and Chewie's dad refers to his son's death that way. And yes, it's Itchy from the SWHS.
I've never read Vector Prime, therefore Chewie isn't dead. From a certain point of view. ;)
