And more than a few heads turned when Darth Vader and some Imperial Stormtroopers were spotted strolling through the mall.
The Star Wars characters were attending the Film and Comic Con Glasgow event - formerly Collectormania – being held at Braehead Arena over the weekend.
Thousands of film and comic fans came along to meet the stars of movies and TV series like Star Wars, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Game of Thrones, Nightmare on Elm Street and Aliens.
And there were also dozens of other fans who dressed as characters from their favourite films and TV shows.
The film and TV show fans flocked to hundreds of stalls set up in Braehead Arena – that has previously hosted rock concerts, world championship boxing matches, Davis Cup tennis tournaments and is home to the Braehead Clan ice hockey team – to snap up movie memorabilia and sought-after rare comics.
Marketing manager for intu Braehead, Christine Macdonald said: “There’s a warm welcome for everyone when they come to intu Braehead – even Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers from the Galactic Empire!
“The Film and Comic Con event at our Arena has been very popular and the fans dressed as characters from the movies certainly caught the eye as they did some shopping before heading off back home to a galaxy far, far away.”
