A guy bought himself a DVD of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith while he was living in Shanghai. This version was translated into Chinese and then put into English subtitles.

Some of my choicer selections:

The secret to becoming powerful? Become strong and big. Simple, huh?

"Presbyterian Church" was the name for the Jedi Council. Those crazy Jedi!

This just doesn't have the same uplifting feeling as "May the Force be with you."

I thought his name was Darth Vader...?

It must have been a shock for Padme to realize that she was married to a strong and big.

High school students have a new catchphrase!
