I searched online and founds French and Dutch subs for Revenge and used Babel fish to translate them,

From official Frend subtrack:

A long ago in a remote galaxy. Very remote…

The Revenge of Siths

The War! The Republic breaks down under attacks of the Sith Lord, the Count Dooku. There is of the heroes in the two camps.
The Evil is everywhere. In a courageous movement, the monstrous one Chief of Droïdes, the Grievous General, penetrated the
capital of the Republic and removed the Palpatine Chancellor, chief of the Galactic Senate. Whereas the Army of Droïdes of the
Separatists tries to escape from the capital with their prestigious hostage, two Jedi Knights direct a mission despaired to
save the captive Chancellor… R2, aims it!


Dutch:

A long time ago, in an ASTRE scheme here far from...

wars! The republic falls from each other... attack Lord of the cruel Sith, Count Dooku. heroes are there on both sides. Misfortune dominates everywhere. general Grievous, LEADER of the droids, have chancellor Palpatine, LEADERS of the galactic senate, kidnapped. if the separatist droid try army escape... two Jedi lead knights a mission to call back the chancellor...
missing the aim, Artoo. General Grievous ship lies right for us. the one which full zit with droids. I see it. This becomes a makkie. Odd Ball, hear you me? - Save yes, Leader. and lets you team behind me indicates to my position come.

As you can see, especially in the case of the Dutch translation, this could very well be the case of Backstroke. Also the above are based off of the official DVD subtitle tracks, imagine how much more messed up they would be if they were translated from English by somebody who knew nothing about the SW terminology.

This is one of those things that makes you wish MST3K was still on the air, lol. I have to say though the disc art's cool.


kaine, have you hear of RiffTrax? It is almost like having new episodes of MSTK3. They have already done riff for Episode 1 and 2.
