The Scooby gang joined Captain Jack Sparrow, Darth Vader and Chewbacca at an intergalactic event in Edinburgh this weekend.
Thousands of science fiction fans descended on the O2 Academy for Capital Sci-Fi Con 2024, which transformed into a world roamed by Daleks and Storm Troopers.
The ninth incarnation of the popular event is raising money for Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) across Saturday and Sunday (February 17 and 18).

Among the honoured guests is eighth version of The Doctor Paul McGann, Star Wars actors Denis Lawson, Angus Macinnes and Jimmy Vee, Indiana Jones villain Paul Freeman and Guardians of the Galaxy CFX performer Arti Shah.
Also making an appearance is James Mackenzie, best known for playing Raven in the CBBC show of the same name, David Ajala from Jupiter Ascending and Fast and Furious 6, and Steve Cardenas the Red Ranger from Power Rangers himself.
Fans dressed in colourful and eclectic costumes ranging from Scooby Doo characters, Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean, Rey, Leia and Kylo Ren from Star Wars, and more.
The event showcases the endless universes of the science fiction genre as seen in movies, television and in comics and brings together writers and artists, traders, and of course thousands of fans.
Over the past eight years, Capital Sci-Fi Con says it has welcomed more than 28,000 movie buffs, comic book aficionados and TV devotees of all ages.
Attendees can meet celebrity guests, shop for unique collectables, pose with cosplayers and explore authentic props as they immerse themselves in the world of science fiction.
The event has raised more than £371,705 for CHAS, which supports children in Scotland living with life-shortening conditions, as well as their families.
This includes palliative care, family respite, and support through hospices, homecare services, and hospital prescence.
