What's the deal with the easter egg subtitles? I turned them on and I see the image, but is there more to it then that? I watched it for about 5 mins to see if it did anything else. I haven't had a chance to watch it fully yet. Other than that, the rest of it is hilarious

I don't know man. Those picture subtitles were just really a test to see if it could work. Just imaging that they are moving and talking about the movie or something.

And if I can ever find and install photoshop again after my HD crash, I'd love to attempt a disc label.

If I ever get a ROTS DVD I'm going to go one better and do an actual voice-over using these lines.

Unless it's been done. In which case, point me to it laddies.

That's what I thought it was suppose to be for. I kept expecting to see additional subtitles or here an overdub ala MST3K. Still pretty neat

How about just modifying the Chinese DVD label at cdcovers.cc

I love the back of that cover.

"In this film you see how all of the jedi are exterminated, what finally
happens to Padme, the mother of Luke and Leia, how Anakin
becomes Darth Vader, adn how the crumbling Republic becomes
the first Galactic Empire. Warning though, Anakin's change to Darth
Vader is quite scary and will definitely upset the little ones! Wow,
Lucas has done it, and made a successful connection to the original
Star Wars film, A New Hope! One of the coolest bits is seeing the
Tantive IV, Bail Organa's rebel blockade runner, from A New Hope
in action towards the end of Revenge of the Sith."

Nice teaser. Wish it was a little more clear as to what might happen in the movie.

Then it wouldn't be a true Chinese DVD cover, would it? It would be best if somebody took the blurb from... oh, I don't know... 'Kindergarten Cop', say, and put that on the back of the Backstroke cover. Because every single Chinese boot I've ever seen (Star Wars or otherwise) has had English text from some other movie for the description and the credits.

Well, I happen to like the blurb on the "official" DVD cover for this disc posted in the first post.

"Gold and Ratio Tile, the brother in elephants is similar. far off against Space General and big in a daring attempt to rescue Mr. Speaker. In his lead to the evil augury, Gold is made by the Presbyterian Church and joins the West to guarantee his cuckoldry the safety. While the fate of the Milky Way hangs in the balance, Gold and Ratio Tile battle as a disable person must solve."

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.

And for anyone curious, here is the same thing done for ANH:

The Star Goes to War
The plot IV
Newly to Hope

This is civil war period. Rebels against the spaceship, collides from a hidden base, won their first victory opposition evil outer space star cluster empire. In battle period, rebels against the spy to try to steal the secret plan to the empire final weapon, the death star, an armoured space station destroys an entire planet by the foot strength.

Pursues by the empire sinister proxy, Leia Princess race her starship, possibly preserves her the people and restores freely to the galaxy... the plan storage person which steals.

No. Folks have to apply the changes to DVDs that they already own.

The only reason I bought Ep.III was for this, though I've had it for several months and haven't even bothered to unwrap it yet.

Kinda funny how even Babelfish can do better than these guys eh?

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.

Ok, took me 3 tries but it finally worked!!

Looks great, and so damn funny. Is there supposed to be no audio at all? It just seems weird that there's no audio, with my luck I probably ripped the wrong file, lol. Cool subtitles, but like a few others, using a regular font to make it look "official" would have looked better and been funnier, especially when you're sitting away from your TV and you can't read the subs.

It actually looks like they used Babelfish to do the translation. Maybe someone can do the other 5 movies so we can have a full set. Do the subtitles come out similarly when they're put through the fish? Might be an interesting experiment to try.
