To be fair, everyone’s always been an asshole to 3PO. “Shut him up or shut him down!” I do think it’s a little awkward how mild this line reading is compared to Poe’s reaction though. You’d expect 3PO to be more hysterical.
I dunno what it is about TROS, I just feel really sorry for 3PO. Everyone seemed really extra nasty to him this episode. 100% didn’t earn the “One last look… at my friends!” line. It’s so being cut. 😃
After 3PO says “One last look… at my friends!” it would be cool to have a short montage of Luke, Han and Leia from the Original Trilogy. This would make is appear 3PO is accessing his memory banks of Luke, Han and Leia instead.
There’s actually a parody of that somewhere. I can’t remember who did it. Maybe HISHE. You’re right though.
I’ve butchered that entire scene but it works once you remove the friend’s line and the repeated dialogue that Poe says in the previous scene. No idea why this is repeated, so removing Poe saying it first gives 3PO’s delivery more gravitas.
So, Poe saying “Are you already their 3PO?” and then 3PO delivers the “…all this time” *dramatic pause
Also, Poe clearly has concussion because he keeps forgetting why they when to see Babu i.e 3PO will have complete memory loss. I think it’s repeated 3 times, WHY? It’s like JJ this Star Wars audience have the attention span of a 3 year old and constantly needs to be reminded of the plot. *eyesroll
