But seriously, someone can just take this here DVD label and replace "Revenge of the Sith" with "Backstroke of the West", leaving all of the Chinese text. I'd do it, but I don't have the necessary tools at the moment.

They probably used something like it, but it's a bit more complicated. The subtitles were generated in a ridiculous way: the English dialogue was transcribed (probably by someone whose native language is not English), then translated to Mandarin Chinese, then translated back to English. There's a lot of room for more crackpot human error in there than just a translation through Babelfish, which I think is why it's so amusing.
