Jeremy Winterson

**Jeremy Winterson** found the actual bootleg DVD of *Backstroke of the West*.

## Details

The story how Jeremy found the bootleg DVD is well recounted on his old blog. To summarize, he was in Shanghai for business in mid-2005 - Jeremy travels around East Asia for work - and caught the canon movie *Revenge of the Sith* with a friend in a local theater. The following day, he passed by his local and friendly Shanghainese DVD seller and bought a DVD of the movie for 7RMB or US$0.84475 then - yes fans that is how cheap the bootleg DVD was! Playing it, he found time counters and a slightly distorted screen, yet it was viewable but with subtitles from 'a galaxy far, far away.'

## Jeremy's commentary

Jeremy gave great commentaries on various snapshots he took from the bootleg many which are used here so huge credit to him. For example, he stated that:

* The start menu contains an evil looking Yoda or Vanquish Is.
* In order to view the bootleg subtitles, you select 'Englsih' in the set up menu.
* Jeremy noted that Grievous or Space General's line, "kill these two republic bodyguard" Jeremy noted that that did not match a Chinese-to-English and English-to-Chinese translation. The canon line was "just as count dooku predicted".
* Similarly, he noted that Allah Gold's line "Exterminate them" is actually referring to the canon destroyer droids. Also the line robots telling Gold and Ratio Tile "Behind the person do not push"
* in response to 'General Space's order to 'batter to death them, he wrote, "grievous orders his troops to turn Anakin and Obi-Wan into filet-o-fishes" and "yes, that's right, crispy golden brown batter!!!"
* In response to, "Giving first aid the already disheveled hair projection," Jeremy quipped "a random hair styling tip?"
* In response to, "The front is a lemon avenue flying straightly", he remarked, "we gonna rock down to, lemon avenue."
* In response to, "I can breakfast for the new house that baby tidy up it", he quipped that Padme or The Plum Of is a home maker.
* In response to, "Our baby blesses god'sly" he stated, hallelujah!
* In response to, "Worry to lose is to lead to the evil augury", Jeremy noted that this would be something Yoda or Vanquish Is would say in canon.
* When the West Emperor said, "They are just a flock of to fish for fame its person', Jeremy sniped, "the emporer tells anakin... umm... something."
* Commanding Officer said, " Say the bottom conveniently" which Jeremy parroted.
* Blow the Skin remarked, "Kiss too loudly" and in response, Jeremy remarked, "c3po tells the amorous couple to get a room."
* When the West Emperor said he turned disabled and sick, Jeremy noted he's going on workers' compassionate leave.
* Ratio changed the password afresh with Jeremy stating is the password 'password'?
* The West Emperor told Reaching The West Of Reaches to "Bring the Milky Way the peace" with Jeremy noting, what about a Snickers? See the Milky Way page.
* The Plum Of confronts Reaches that he had an affair and Reaches denied it. Jeremy wrote " he has been sleeping around!" and "umm... uhh... what affair. that wasn't me. i barely know that girl."
* In response to Vanquish statement that he will leave the country, Jeremy wrote "he's heading for Tijuana."
