I saw this and I thought they did a good job overall of soundalike casting. But the delivery was kinda boring. Still a great effort overall tho.

If you’re referring to the Backstroke of the West fandub, I don’t blame you. Those guys were probably do the best they could without bursting out in laughter.

I thought the dub was good kind of.

“The Backstroke of the West” was easily the best (and funniest) thing to come out of Revenge of the Sith, so I’m glad you guys made this thread. I wonder if someone here can release a fully mistranslated subtitle file for at least one of the movies.

I wonder what Siege of Mandalore, the ROTS Screenplay, 2D Clone Wars’ Battle of Coruscant, and deleted scenes might be “Backstroke of the West” style.

Here’s something from Attack of the Clones I translated a few years ago:

Stage 1(No translations):
Victory? Victory, you say? Master Obi-Wan, this is not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun, the clone war has.

Stage 2 (English-Spanish-English-Portuguese-English):
Victory? Victoria, you say? Master Obi-Wan, this is not victory. The black side shroud fell. It started, the clone war has.

Stage 3 (English-Spanish-English-Portuguese-English-French-German-English):
The victory? Victoria, you say? Master Obi-Wan, it is not a victory. The black shroud fell. It started, the clone war began.

Stage 4 (English-Spanish-English-Portuguese-English-French-German-English-Italian-Catalan-English-Czech-English-Hungarian-English):
Victory? Victoria, do you say that? Master Obi-Wan, this is not a win. The black coat fell. The beginning of the clone war began.

Stage 5 (English-Spanish-English-Portuguese-English-French-German-English-Italian-Catalan-English-Czech-English-Hungarian-English-Russian-Chinese-English):
Win? Victoria, do you say that? Master Obi-Wan, this is not a victory. The black jacket fell. The beginning of the clone war began.

Stage 6 (English-Spanish-English-Portuguese-English-French-German-English-Italian-Catalan-English-Czech-English-Hungarian-English-Russian-Chinese-English-Japanese-English-Arabic-Engish):
Wins? Victoria, do you have something like that? Mr. Obi - Wan. This is not a victory. A black jacket fell. The beginning of the war of cloning.

Stage 7(English-Spanish-English-Portuguese-English-French-German-English-Italian-Catalan-English-Czech-English-Hungarian-English-Russian-Chinese-English-Japanese-English-Arabic-Engish-Hebrew-Thai-English-Thai):
conductor? Victoria What are you doing? Mr. Obi Wan is not Jack Black’s victory. Mud Wars Start

You’ve got to ask yourself one question: “Am I making Carrie Fisher’s ghost proud?”
Well, are ya, punk?

I’ve started my own Backstroking of ANH out of boredom. My personal favorite lines thus far are “¡comer!” (originally “Take her away!”) and “We are born with Poland; it is in our good luck” (originally “We seem to be made to suffer, it’s our lot in life.”)

I’m not really that much of a movie purist. I really should’ve thought my name out a bit more.

Kinda nice to see this bumped. I can’t remember if I ever said, but my plan (which never happened) was to Backstroke all of Frink’s trilogy for him…but he never seemed to care (which really frustrated me, along with other aspects of his strange personality), so it became like more of a hobby which slowly fizzled out for me.

Anyway, I put a HUGE amount of work into making a gigantic glossary and putting things in proper order. In doing so, I got a lot of insight into the “logic” of the original Backstroking. There were so many times where things would come up and I’d think ‘oh yeah, I get where they were going with that…’ It helped me to finalize a lot. And now I can confidently Backstroke just about anything, not just Star Wars.

Aaaaaanyway, I’m looking in an old folder, and I’m not sure I posted these before; one scene from ESB, then two from ANH:

From what I’ve heard, Backstroke of the West was likely created by a software called Kingsoft (金山快译) [probably the 2002 version]. I think a user on Reddit named u/Tokageron may be able to help with acquisition of this software. There is some Backstroke style A New Hope (The Novelty Desire) and Empire Strikes Back (The Counterattack Collection) dubs, but they’re made by a different group. You can find more info here - https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDubGathers/

There is a new project that the Backstroke of the West creators are working on called “Hally Porter and the Door of the Room.” I’m actually a producer for that project. This is the original creators YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@HallyPorter and this is a sample scene - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHwMSzPLtiA

I’d love to see the whole Saga ‘Backstroked’ and released - it’d sure be a lot of work… yet also seems like a lot of fun to be had with it, too.
