And if only American Airlines had a droid to help fix the hyperdrive on Mayhew’s cancelled flight:

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:

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:

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.
