I have a translation problem, and maybe somebody can help me with this.
After someone had said a stupid sentence, I heard somebody reply:
Well, he was making a point, I guess, to some distant star.
I'm almost sure this was some kind of insult, but I'm just not able to translate it, or to really understand the meaning of this expression.

There are two parts to this. One is "he was making a point". This phrase is commonly used after someone argues a point that does not really matter. It is to say that someone cares more about making their point than they do about giving useful information.
"To some distant star" is not a common way to end that sentence. But I suspect it is to emphasize that the point the person was trying to make had no relevance to the people he was speaking to. Possibly, the person did not even care if the people around him understood (as if he was 'talking to a star').
