• Hello and welcome to MSFC. We are a small and close knitted community who specialises in modding the game Star Trek Armada 2 and the Fleet Operations modification, however we have an open field for discussing a number of topics including movies, real life events and everything in-between.

    Being such a close community, we do have some restrictions, including all users required to be registered before being able to post as well as all members requiring to have participated in the community for sometime before being able to download our modding files to name the main ones. This is done for both the protection of our members and to encourage new members to get involved with the community. We also require all new registrations to first be authorised by an Administrator and to also have an active and confirmed email account.

I want to know if anybody has heard of this before. Put simply, Star War: Backstroke of the West is what happens when you take a bootleg copy of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, poorly translate it into Mandarin Chinese, then poorly translate it back into English, all in subtitles, so the original audio is still intact. The results are hilarious! Almost every time when somebody says, "Nooo!" it becomes "Do not want!", Anakin seems to be named "Allah Gold" and there is something about elephants and the Presbyterian Church...:confused: It's on YouTube and considering it was posted in 2007, I'm guessing George Lucas doesn't care. It's definitely worth watching just for the nonsensical subtitles!:lol2:

I downloaded most of the still images that were made available in a blog posting some time ago. I can't believe how bad the "subtitles" misinterpret the contents. I've watched the film while waiting for the scenes to appear just to see what's actually being said. The sudden malevolence of the Presbyterian Church, and the "DO NOT WANT" ending, are probably my favourite parts.

:D
