Star Wars Episodes I-VII Viewing Party: EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

snufkin wrote:@spacebaby45678 yeah it's interesting how once you spend the time and watch all of the movies, how clear it becomes that they're referencing all 6 of the previous ones from different elements. This is what I think of as the magic trick of distracting most viewers with repeating familiar elements from the first movie and meanwhile, there's so much else going on below the surface.

@snufkin

You have hit the nail on the head. TFA is an elaborate chiasmic puzzle with one missing element that you find in the OT & PT. The missing value like algebra is then easy to find.

Haha, that's exactly why I've wasted so much time on this, the solving a logical puzzle that has elements which follow an algebra equation. It's like the sort of verbal puzzles they'd give to you at school or every single extended nature hike I had to go on during Girl Scouts. Of course my problem with algebra is that I don't always have the patience/focus to understand the *exact* rules and come out with the wrong answer because I'm impatient and want to find the answer. Which is why you see so many people who think that it's an exact replica of the OT. So I take all of my conclusions with a grain of salt.

Nice insight.
