Peter Mayhew — the actor behind the iconic character Chewbacca in all 8 “Star Wars” film — is having a little trouble with American Airlines right now, and it’s his birthday no less. Check it out:
Ouch. Happy Birthday to me. @americanair flight canceled on the way to the airport & my assistant and i were rebooked on different flights.

Hey American Airlines … it’s not wise to upset a Wookie!
@TheWookieeRoars @AmericanAir they better get that fixed for you ASAP "wookies have been know to rip arms out of sockets"

And if only American Airlines had a droid to help fix the hyperdrive on Mayhew’s cancelled flight:
@TheWookieeRoars @AmericanAir they didn't even ask you to try to fix the hyperdrive before cancelling? Must have been a real bucket o bolts

Or a better co-pilot:
@TheWookieeRoars Clearly @AmericanAir needs better copilots. Hmm, who do we know with lots of experience there… ?

Too late for an apology, American Airlines! You have failed Chewie for the last time:
@TheWookieeRoars We didn't mean to spoil your birthday! Please DM your assistants info and we'll see what we can do.

Happy birthday, Mr. Mayhew … and thanks for the memories.
