Crazy people will argue anything in circles. This is a true statement - we even saw it here on the forums in another thread about the old animated series.

It's called circumplexic logic - crazy people make these pseudo-logical connections to simply justify anything they are arguing. Sure, they have a connected point, but it isn't cogent and the point typically brings you right back to where you started. Crazy people do it, and children do it. Immature people.

This is as opposed to logic being linear and contiguous, which takes you somewhere that makes sense instead of back to your initial ******** (not you, ZariusTwo, I'm talking instead about that ubiquitous "you").

And so, dumbass on the other forum who told you that 3-PO was looking at the audience, in a sudden and singular breaking of the fourth wall across the entire trilogy-trilogy is an example of basically saying anything that can connect the words even if the sum of the words is wildly out of reality. Even if this was an artistic callout from the film makers, it's a failed attempt because for it to work, it would still have to be a double entendre, which fails because 3-PO has essentially no connection to the new cast even after three movies that have gone nowhere story-wise.

Disney Star Wars is, unarguably a failed story-telling trilogy. No connections made across the three movies, no build-up of any relevant material, a sudden and meaningless return of Palpatine in the third movie even though there's no mention or whisper of "something coming" behind the scenes across this trilogy. No signals or story callbacks across this trilogy, bla bla, I could go on. The new Star Wars have some visual eyecandy moments, but they are completely failed stories meant for consumption by the bottom feeders of the millenial generation who won't challenge the material and simply chant "yay girl power!" or "we are better because nothing good existed before us".

Why? How? Because of some crashing waves? Seriously?
