So there's a kerfuffle on RPGnet about an imagined reboot of Doctor Who which brought up the Eighth Doctor movie and who'd do this and Americanising the show. So clearly we must seek revenge...

Star Trek

The HMS Enterprise approaches an alien planet. Captain James Kirk, proudly Scottish commanding officer, prepares to beam down with his Oxford-educated science officer Professor Spock and a disposable squaddie, leaving all-American engineer Monty in charge.

Sadly, I don't know British 60s TV well enough to cast everyone. Although Patrick MacNee could totally work the velour jumper look.

Eh. Star Trek? I think what you want is to Britishize Star Wars.

Star Wars is pretty bloody British already, old chap.

It would only be about 12% more British if the heroes were British and it was set on the sea during the glory days of our colonies in the West Indies. Savvy?

All the heroes are Americans, and half the first movie is set in Space Arizona. So there!

That or Space North Africa. Mos Eisley could become an excellent Casablanca.

Of course, Casablanca was shot in Hollywood...

I think that Solo would work very well as a diamond geezer.
