*After the crushing defeat in Round 9, the morale in the Rebel camp is low and the hierarchy meet to try and find a way to turn the tide*

General Han Brickwall: Admiral, I've been reading this ... *holds out a copy of 'Using The Force for Dummies'* ... and I think I'm starting to make sense of it.
Admiral Maaxwell: What are you saying here, General? Do you think you can use this hokey religion magic stuff against our enemy?
GHB: Well I'm not sure, but I could give it a try
AM: Well we've nothing to lose so let's see what you can do, General!

*General Brickwall holds out his hand and concentrates hard ... there is a slight but noticeable rumbling of the environment, which then stops as GB ends his effort*

AM: Well? Do you think it worked?
GB: I'm not sure. I thought I felt something at first but then nothing.
AM: That's what she said!

*Both laugh heartily as we cut to Sith HQ where Darth Philamental is not happy*

Darth Phil: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Billy The Puppet: What's wrong? Have you suddenly realised your legs and one arm have been cut off, and you need a goofy helmet in order to be able to breath properly?
DP: No! Worse! The Rebels have somehow managed to use the force to change our beloved bonus rounds which had caused them such fear and terror!
BTP: The bastards! What have they done to them?
DP: The bonus rounds are no longer compulsory for the top 10 players! Playing them is now entirely optional with no penalty for not playing!
BTP: F***ers! Where's the fun in that?
DP: And it gets worse! All points previously deducted for incorrect bonus round answers have been restored to those players! *Darth Phil snatches his lightsaber and ignites it before swinging it wildly in anger*
BTP: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
DP: I know! This is terrible isn't it?!
BTP: No! You've just sliced off my legs with your lightsabre, you prick!
DP: *a little sheepishly* ... oh ... yeah ... well, you're just a puppet ... get someone to sew them back on and quit whining. Hmmm ... I can't 'Force Undo' these changes but let's see what I can do here ...
*DP waves his little pinky*
There! All previously won bonus points have been reduced to 2 pts per round and will stay at that level going forward! That'll learn 'em! The points deduction for an incorrect bonus round answer also stays but it's been reduced to '-2' instead of '-3'.
*BTP crawls across the floor looking for his legs before turning back to DP*
BTP: *sarcastically* Oh those changes will have them shaking in their boots for sure! "Oh no I've lost some bonus points!" ... Big whoop!
DP: One more word and I'll have your arm off!

And now we return you to your regularly scheduled programme

****Bonus Round Update****

The answer was B) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!

Correct - Maaxwell, brickwall, bowfinger, CMonster, mattorama12, igormachete, Victoriouz, cet1412, OMGFridge

Incorrect - dunbar :(

Round 10 Conclusion

Round 10 has now also closed and technically was Apocalypse Now Redux (2001) but I also accepted Apocalypse Now (1979)

4 pts - cet1412, brickwall
3 pts - igormachete, snallygaster, bojangles
2 pts - bowfinger, detox
1 pt - Vinegarbob

On the battle score front, the Rebels took it 4 to 0 but with the 3 incorrect answers, the round score is 4-3 to the Rebels. This makes the updated overall score Images 32 - Rebels 30 ... it's oh so tight!

On we go with ...

2 correct answers, one incorrect answer to finish the Round.

The answer was Dogma (1999)

4 pts - snallygaster
3 pts - maaxwell, brickwall, bowfinger, Vinegarbob, bojangles
2 pts - Victoriouz, CosmicMonkey, OMGFridge
1 pt - Detox, dunbar

Battlescore was 4-0 for the Rebels but the one incorrect guess makes it 4-1 for the round. That brings us up to Images 33 - Rebels 34. The Rebels re-take the lead! Booooo!
