Shoppers got a shock when imperial stormtroopers strolled through a shopping centre.
The Star Wars characters were fans in costume for the Film and Comic Con Glasgow event.
They turned heads at intu Braehead shopping centre before joining thousands of film and comic fans at the nearby intu Braehead Arena to meet the stars of movies and TV series such as Superman, Star Wars, Power Rangers and Lord of the Rings, Dr Who and Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Fans dressed as their favourite characters browsed stalls of TV and film memorabilia and sought-after rare comics.
Marketing manager for intu Braehead, Christine Macdonald said: "You never know who you'll bump into when you visit intu Braehead - family, friends, neighbours and the odd stormtrooper, from the galactic empire who decided to do some shopping.
"The Film and Comic Con event at intu Braehead Arena is always a very popular event and lots of movie fans come dressed as characters from the movies.
"Our regular shoppers love it as well and there was no shortage of people taking selfies with characters from the movies and TV shows."
The event continues on Sunday.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
