| What would happen if Star Wars was
set in Glasgow?
Chewbacca would look roughly the same except he'd
only be about 5ft 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 invariably
sport either a Rangers or Celtic top.
Obi-Wan Kenobi would invariably be referred to as
Chief or Big Yin by his cohorts. People trying to start a fight with him
would address him as Wanky-Nobby.
Darth Vader would referred to as 'Auld Helmet Heid'
or in moments of stress 'That Dome-Heided Basturd'.
R2D2 would refuse to go out on the streets after
10pm because of the number of drunks who would try to stuff chip papers in
his head casing or piss on him. He would also refuse to go near
groups of wee boys at any time because of the high risk of being spray
painted/dumped in front of a speeding
train/set on fire
Although proficient in over 3500 languages C3P0
would still be unable to understand anything anyone from the East End of
Glasgow said. He would regularly get beaten up for being a 'greetin-faced
poof fae Newton Mearns'.
The Millennium Falcon would have static strips,
tinted windscreens and extra-flared exhaust ports and pump out DJ Jean's
Get Ready For The Launch at unbelievable loudness. It would have a Daily
Record I Love Scotland sticker in the back window and a saltire (St
Andrews cross) bumper sticker.
Princess Leia would get captured by Darth Vader
because it's hard to run very fast when you're wearing 5inch platform
heels and a tiny silver mini-skirt which keeps hiking up over your arse
every two steps. And you've been a heavy smoker since you were 6.
The best way to destroy the Death Star would not
necessarily be a desperate all out attack. Two easy ways would be
* alter its orbit so it passed through
Bridgeton and tell the locals it was full of Roman Catholics
* 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"
"Ah'm shitin' ma sel' here boy"
"Bring 'em on! I prefer a straight fight to all
this sneaking around."
"Come right ahead then c**ts! Fight the f**in' lot o ye!"
"There's no mystical energy field controls my
destiny." "The Force?!!
D'youse think ah came doon the clyde in a fu**in' banana boat?!"
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no
match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
"Nae messin aboot wae the god squad and aw that auld rubbish, wee
man. Get yersel' a decent shooter"
Darth Vader trying to shoot down Luke Skywalker
"The Force is strong in this one"
"Stop shooglin' aboot ya wee basturd!"
Princess Leia
"You're a little short for a Stormtrooper
aren't you?"
"Ah didny think they took short-erses in the polis?"
"This bucket of bolts is never going to get us
past that blockade."
"Wuv goat NAE chance in this pile o' shite"
Admiral Motti
"Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's
ways, Lord Vader."
"You think you're that hard, Vader so ye do. Well we're no feart ae
you!"
Obi Wan
"I felt a great disturbance in the Force."
"F*** me! whit wiz aw that?"
