1. Tonight was movie night on The X Factor, and the judges adopted a Star Wars theme. Simon Cowell came as Han Solo's dad. Mel B was a sassy lady Sith.

2. Cheryl Fernandez-Versini channelled Padme and Louis Walsh was, obviously, a perfect Senator Palpatine.

3. Jake Quickenden performed in front of a troop of drowned Laura Palmers from Twin Peaks, which was pretty cinematic.
ITV
(Ssh, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was a movie)
4. And Stevi Ritchie celebrated the silver screen majesty of Footloose by actually having loose feet.
He also told Dermot O'Leary about a wee he'd done earlier.
5. But then Mel B, chillingly, morphed into Zuul from Ghostbusters, and it seemed to cast a shadow over the evening.
ITV
There is no Mel B, only Zuul.
6. Suddenly everyone's singing was kind of... off.
7. Seriously off.
8. Which wasn't very cinematic at all.
9. The ill effects even rubbed off on judges Simon and Cheryl, who got into a very aggressive game of "Whose Hand Is Pointier"...
ITV
10. ... And then broke up.

11. Luckily, Fleur East turned things around with her competent Lady Marmalade.
12. Andrea Faustini blew everyone away by singing Beyoncé's Listen while dressed as Sacha Baron Cohen in The Dictator.
13. And then this chap from Stereo Kicks pulled the most Oscar-winning facial expression in existence, again, and it made everything okay once moe.
ITV
Hooray for The X Factor!
