Like any big movie-series-thingy, Star Wars has inspired many knock-offs, though none is quite as stupefying and entertaining as this Chinese bootleg of 2005′s Revenge Of The Sith.
Made by Chinese hackers in their basements using Google Translator to convert English to Chinese and then back again, Backstroke Of The West is a baffling and hilarious muddle from start to finish.
Confusing the Jedi Knights for the Presbyterian Church, sprinkling the story with references to elephants and taking a fast-and-loose approach to cursing are just some of the charms of this mind-bending rip-off.
Weirdly, it’s kinda more entertaining than the original. Especially when it contains subtitles like this:
We didn't know he had a little arm for THAT job...
