A Pirating We Will Go...

        Han Solo was a pirate in Star Wars Episode IV who fancied Princess Leia, was frozen in carbonite in The Empire Strikes Back and was rescued and "thawed" back to life in the Return of the Jedi to save the day for everyone.  As a typical pirate, he engaged in the smuggling business and associated himself with the criminal underworld.   

        Hmmm, I wonder... Did Han Solo engage also in DVD piracy?

        I came across this obviously pirated DVD version of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith...  you know, the one with the grainy images, background audience noise and with a counter running across the screen to count out the frames.  And the subtitles...  ah yes, the subtitles.  The DVD came from China and originally it had Chinese subtitles.  Some enterprising "pirate" thought it would be nice to put in English subtitles instead of Chinese subtitles to that he can sell it elsewhere.  It seems the translator he hired did a direct translation of the subtitles from Chinese to English instead of faithfully transcribing what was being said by the characters.

        The result is a hilariously funny translation, definitely coming from a galaxy very far, far away...

Tsk, tsk, tsk.  The words are right there on the screen and yet...  Faraway galaxy indeed!

Yeah, right.  STAR WAR! hehehe

 

The backstroke of the west???

 

Yoda: "Premonitions. Premonitions."

 

Yeah right, Anakin! Cuckoldry the safety!

 

C3PO: "Hey you two, go get a room!"

Yoda tells Anakin that he is noed longer is already.
 

 

Padme is breaking down... she can't take the bad translation anymore since she can't walk last with you you a road for running about.  (Actually, she was saying "You're breaking my heart. You're going down a path I can't follow.")

LIER!!!

This is the best...  This is the portion near the end of the movie where Darth Vader was shouting "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
