Hilarious rendition of Star Wars in Chinglish

amazingly enough, the beginning scroll is mistranslated even though the words are right there on the screen.

Star war (just one)

‘The backstroke of the west’ is the English translation of the chinese title.

Anakin: “this is where the fun begins”

Obi Wan: “Let them pass between us”

Obi Wan, space battle strategist.

Anonymous doomed pilot: “They’re all over me!”

Obi Wan grows impatient with R2.

the chancellor warns Anakin and Obi Wan that Count Dooku is… big.

Obi Wan assures the chancellor that it’s no problem.

Count Dooku talks tough.

that’s Chancellor Palpatine speaking, talking about Obi Wan.

Anakin taunts General Grevious.

the General fires off a snappy comeback.

ummm… ????

Yoda: “Premonitions? Premonitions?”

sounds like something Yoda might actually say… maybe.

Anakin is haunted by dreamses.

troopseses!

Anakin gets frustrated with the Jedi council.

this seemed completely random until I figured out that ‘Jedi Council’ was being translated into Chinese then back to English as ‘the Presbyterian Church’.

Anakin: “Obi Wan, may the force be with you”

Anakin bargains for the life of his cuckoldry. Cuckoldry?

C3PO tells the amorous couple to get a room.

Obi Wan can’t face what he must do.

Yoda insists…

…and explains that the person he once knew noed longer is.

Anakin tells Padme about his new virtues, now being both strong and big.

Padme doesn’t want strong and big - she also doesn’t want to walk on a road meant for running about.

Lier!!!

Obi Wan has heard enough.

I love this translation. Darth Vader is actually shouting, “Nooooooooooooo…”
