Tyler Gremlin is driving quietly down the road in search of Mater, but Finn uses his hook to knock over a vending machine in front of Tyler, which causes Han to wake up and suspect that Tyler was the culprit, so he and two others proceed to yell at him. It is unknown what happened to him afterwards, though it is possible that Han and his other two friends made him pay for the destruction of their vending machine.
