Blade Runner

Han Solo is probably a robot who lives in the future. The weather’s bloody awful, so he decides to go about and kill a bunch of other robots while wooshy synth music plays in the background. Sad bit at the end when one of the robots tells him about things he’s seen and so, to cheer himself up, Han Solo runs away with a robot lady to have a nice robot relationship.
