Chinese: 吹皮欧 (Chuīpíōu) - 吹 means "blow", 皮 means "skin", 欧 is a phonetic character used in transliteration.
Chewbacca: Drag along
Chinese: Normally his name is written as 丘巴卡 (Qiūbākǎ) or 丘百卡 (Qiūbǎikǎ) but the relationship to "drag along" is uncertain, unless one of the characters used is 拖 (tuō - "drag") or its synonym. However, 揪 (qiū), which could also have the meaning of "drag", could be a plausible candidate to relate the syllable with the back-translation.
CountDooku: The (Obi-Wan calls him Drop in the mistranslation of "You won't get away this time, Dooku", which is translated as "You this time ran to do not, Drop"). This is debatable; there is no real solid evidence that this is how his name translated into Chinese and back, although the mistranslation of the beginning scroll ends with "the", while General Grievous' line, "But we lost the", replacing "But... the loss of Count Dooku..." makes this likely. However there is a fundam problem with this as a proposed back-translation: Mandarin Chinese has no word for "the". He is also referred to as "a Big". 杜库伯爵 (杜库 Dùkù 伯爵 Bójué - "Count"
Chinese: presumably 太空将军 - "space general". His name in Chinese is variously written as 格里弗斯将军, 葛里维斯将军, or 葛瑞菲斯将军. It is most likely that in the original English-to-Chinese translation, "Grievous" was deemed too hard to translate, and the translator simply invented the name "Space General" instead. Ironically, this would make it one of the only names to be accurately backtranslated.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: He is called The Willing to Compares or Ratio the Tile and just Ratio Tile throughout the movie, but is also called Ratio Prosperous during the opening scroll, General Grievous also calls him Section ratio general before their lightsaber duel on Utapau, which seems to mean "General Kenobi" and Bail Organa calls him "Section pulls the ratio", which seems to mean "Master Kenobi"
Chinese: 欧比瓦·肯欧比(Ōubǐwǎ Kěnōubǐ). 欧 is a phonetic character used in transliteration, 比 means "ratio" or "to compare", 瓦 means "tile", 肯 means "willing". The rendering of 欧比旺 (Ōubǐwàng) is more standard; 旺 means "prosperous". In Taiwan his name was rendered as 歐比王 (Ōubǐwáng - "King Obi") in the non-pirated version of this film. "Kenobi" is more commonly transliterated as 肯诺比 (Kěnnuòbǐ).
Supreme ChancellorPalpatine: Mr. Speaker or Speaker D, also sometimes just called D. Although the translation is almost correct in the sense that it refers to Palpatine as a high ranking politician, Palpatine is not the Speaker of the Senate, as Mas Amedda is the Speaker.
Chinese: 议长先生 (Yìzhǎng Xiānsheng "Mr. Chancellor", "Mr. Speaker", "Mr. President"). Also, 帕卜丁 (Pàbǔdīng "Palpatine"), where 丁 is the fourth Heavenly Stem. The Heavenly Stems are often used for enumeration purposes, similar to the way the letters of the alphabet are used in English for enumeration. In this case, 丁 is equivalent to D.
R2-D2: R2 or Reach the Man. Although "Artoo" is the more accepted spelling, this is nonetheless the only correctly translated name in the film. However, other astromech droids in the film, such as R4-P17, are also referred to as "R2". However, Artoo (and R4-P17) are occasionally referred to as 'Reach the Man'.
Anakin Skywalker: The Peaceful is Willing To or Allah Gold (often shortened to "Gold")
Chinese: 阿纳金 (Ānàjīn) is the standard transliteration of Anakin. Perhaps in this rendition, the name was transliterated as 阿拉金 (Ālājīn) or 安拉金 (Ānlājīn), both translated as "Allah gold" if it is separated into two terms - 阿拉 and 金, or 安拉 and 金. Additionally, 安 can mean "peaceful".
Chinese: 达西·维达 (Dáxī Wéidá) 达 means "reach", 西 means "west", 维 has a number of meanings, including "dimension". The normal Chinese rendition is 达斯·维达 (Dásī Wéidá).
Luke Skywalker: See me
Chinese: 看我 (translated from a Mondegreen—"Luke" misheard as "look", which translates to "看" in Chinese.) "我", or "I" in English, was added to make the phrase "看我". It was then translated back into English as "see me", although a more correct translation would be "look at me".
Yoda: Vanquish is or Particularly Reach the Master (尤达 Yóudá, his standard Chinese name, literally translates to "particularly reach"). Yet another usage of "达" as the "da" sound.
Sith Lord: South Host. Palpatine also warns Obi Wan and Anakin that Count Dooku is "a big". Obi Wan reassures Palpatine: "Mr. Speaker, we are for 'the big'."
Chinese: "Host" presumably comes from 主人, meaning "master/lord" but also "host", depending on the context.
Sith: West & The Big
Chinese: 西斯 (Xīsī) - a transliteration of "Sith". 西 means "west", 斯 is a phonetic often used to transliterate the "s" sound or to approximate "th", a sound that Chinese does not have.
Chinese: 长老会 (literally "Council of Elders") or perhaps 长老教会 ("a religious gathering held by the elders"). The Presbyterian Church is ruled by "presbyters", or "elders". Therefore, it is in fact "a religious gathering held by the elders."
Jedi Knight: Hopeless Situation Warrior; "Hopeless Situation" or just "Hopeless" for short. In the later videos, they are referred to as Hero's Ground.
Chinese: 绝地武士 (Juédì wǔshì - Jedi warrior) - Literally, 绝地 means "end ground". It is used to describe battles with no possible retreat, hence "hopeless situation" and "hero's ground".
Galaxy: Milky Way. Star Wars is not set in our galaxy, so this would not technically make sense in English.
Chinese: 银河系 - In Chinese this term means "silver river system", referring to the Milky Way. The term can be used loosely to refer to any galaxy, however the more appropriate term would be 星系 ("star system").
Spacecraft: Airship. Just about every form of spacecraft, be it a mothership or a small fighter vessel, is referred to as an "airship".
Chinese: 原力，原 means original, 力 means Dint. 願力 ("wish power") may have come from the translation of "may the force be with you" ("the wish power are together with you").
Chinese: 哀伤人们 - "Sand" having been misheard as "sad" (哀伤), with people being 人们.
Confederacy of Independent Systems/Separatists: Abruptiondoctrine, or just "doctrine." The droid army commanded by the Separatists is referred to as "the alliance."
Chinese: 独立派- 派 means "doctrine", 独立 means "to separate" or "to become independent." "Abruption" is an overly formal term meaning "separation"; a Separatist is literally "one who subscribes to the doctrine of separation."
Other words and phrases
Do not want (Nooooooooooooooo!)
不要 - Chinese has no word for "no"; instead, the verb would be repeated in the negative. 不要, literally meaning "do not need", also means "don't", "do not want".
good elephant (seems like/it seems/apparently)
Chinese: 好象[sic]. The character 像 (image/likeness) is often colloquially (and strictly speaking, incorrectly) replaced by 象 (elephant) in Simplified Chinese. This causes the translation of 好像 (looks like / seems) as "good elephant".
smelly boy (scum)
Chinese: 臭小子 - "stinky boy", equivalent to "brat".
strong and big (powerful)
Chinese: 强大 - 强 means "strong" and 大 means "big"; the two characters together
You are already at full cock now (You have done well, my apprentice.)
Save me Allah gold! (Help me. Help me!)
I would like to throw in your door is next (I pledge myself....)
Good of Good (Good...)
Only like this you then can become the power like this you then can save to return your (Only then wenough with the dark side to save Padme.)
