Silkworms has a review of the Star Wars Episode III opening in Urumqi - the Chinese city farthest from the sea. There, few were expecting Anakin to turn dark and Yoda spoke using proper grammar:
Yoda speaks in Subject - Verb - Object sentences, as opposed to the Object - Subject - Verb format that we all know. Theories as to why include: a) with all the bad dialogue, Chinese translators figured it was just a mistake by Lucasfilm, b) it is impossible for audiences to understand Chinese in this syntax, or c) the previous Star Wars movies were not dubbed by Lucasfilm and used normal syntax, so Lucasfilm decided to change the way Yoda speaks all the sudden would confuse the audience.
