I think there was only one robot left at the end wasn't there? To water the plants. I had a cry at that bit.
The new Battlestar Galactica is great. Have only seen the pilot though.

oh dear, I thought I was the only one who got upset at the Valley Forge's robots getting picked off, one-by-one. Weren't they called "Huey, Duey and Louis"?
Louis - pronounced Looey

Now that we've shown that top 10 to be a load of bunkum.....
If Star Wars was set in Glasgow

Chewbacca would look roughly the same, except he'd only be about 5 feet tall, from Blackhill and called Shug.
He'd have the same amount of body hair but would also have tattoos, would permanently smell of drink and would invariably sport a Rangers top.
Obi-Wan Kenobi would invariably be referred to as CHIEF or BIG YIN by his cohorts. People trying to pick a fight with him would address him as W@nky-Noby.
Darth Vader would be referred to as "Auld Helmet Heid", or in moments of stress, "That Dome Heided Ba$tard".
R2D2 would refuse to go out in the streets after 10pm because of the number of drunks who would try to stuff chip papers in his head, or pee on him.
He would refuse to go near groups of wee boys because of the high risk of being spray painted.
Although proficient in 3500 languages, C3P0 would still be unable tounderstand anything anyone from the east end of Glasgow said. He would be regularly be beaten up for being a "Greetin' faced poov fae Milngavie".
Princess Leia would be captured by Darth Vader because it is hard to run very fast in 5 inch platform heels and a tiny silver mini skirt which keeps hiking up over her ar$e every two steps, and she's been a heavy smoker since she was 6.
The best way to destroy the Death Star would not necessarily be a desperate all out attack. Two easy ways would be:
1. Alter its orbit to pass through Bridgeton and tell the locals its full of Kafflicks.
2. Leave it unattended in Easterhouse
Lines from the film as they would be uttered in the vernacular
Han solo: "I've got a real bad feeling about this boy"
Vernacular "A'm $hittin' masel' son"
H "Bring 'em on! I prefer a straight fight to all this sneakin' around"
V "I’ll fight the F***ing lot o' ye!
H "There's no mystical force controling my destiny"
V "The force? Do youse think I came up the Clyde in a Banana boat?"
Darth Vader (trying to shoot down Luke Skywalker).
"The force is strong in this one"
"Stop shooglin' ya wee Ba$tard"
Princess Leia
"You're a little short for a storm trouper"
"Ah didny think they took short erses in the Polis"
"This bucket of bolts is never going to get us past that blockade".
"Wuv got nae chance in this pile o' $hite"
"Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways Lord Vader"
"You think you're hard, Vader so ye dae. Well we're no feart o' you".
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force"
"F*** me, whit wiz a' that?"
"Your confidence is your weakness".
"Oh ye bloody think so? I'll make you feel the F***ing force pal!!"

Indeed.
All 5 seasons of it. Together. In one great big story-arc. So for all those namby-pamby "gosh, wouldn't it be a feat to see all 3 LOTR films in one sitting" type can FRO.
But I'm not including the TV films here. They can FRO too.
