-> '''Marry (Poe Dameron):''' [[LetMeTellYouAStory "So, who is the first story? First of all, what are you saying? I would like to talk about."]]

In 2005, the World was introduced to two iconic works of ScienceFiction, both based in [[BroadStrokes loosely the same universe.]]

First, there was Film/RevengeOfTheSith, the [[UnCancelled then last]] chapter of [[Franchise/StarWars one of the most famous movie franchises of all time.]] Then, there was [[http://winterson.com/2005/06/episode-iii-backstroke-of-west.html the first iteration of]] JustForFun/BackstrokeOfTheWest, one of the most infamous [[TranslationTrainWreck Translation Train Wrecks]] of all time.

[[MemeticMutation The latter got notoriety]] [[http://winterson.com/2009/01/episode-iii-backstroke-of-west-redux.html after being featured on a blog belonging to a man named Jeremy Winterson,]] who gave it the [[MSTIng MST treatment.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XziLNeFm1ok&t=7168s It was later]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq7WE6WiPoA&t=1182s turned into a]] GagDub by the Website/{{Youtube}} channel [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVGOpc3MZBZ407VAi3m4VFg TheThirdGathers.]] While many fans wanted to see the other Franchise/StarWars films done the same way, it seemed like this would be it.

However, in late 2016 - [[Film/TheForceAwakens one year after Star Wars itself returned to the big screen]] - Imgur / Website/{{Reddit}} user [[https://imgur.com/user/fegelein08/submitted fegelein08]] / [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDubGathers/ [=KnifeOfPi2=]]] uploaded his own [[RecursiveTranslation Recursive Translations]] of [[Film/RogueOne (at the time)]] every official live-action movie in the series.

Since then, [=KnifeOfPi2=] has started a project to make [[GagDub Gag Dubs]] - similar to the one by [=TheThirdGathers=] - of the series,
[[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDubGathers/comments/5eqwzd/welcome_to_the_dub_gathers_our_first_project_is/ starting with The Fourth Gathers: The Novelty Desire.]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDubGathers/ Anyone willing to participate in them is free to do so.]]

* EpilepticTrees: As the original plots tend to be LostInTranslation, these are practically a requirement for figuring out what the "new" movies are even ''about.''
* IntentionalEngrishForFunny: Everything except the original bootleg, which was a true BlindIdiotTranslation.
* ObligatorySwearing: To the point that they have ContentWarnings for strong language.
