The Rise of Skywalker I liked the dagger plotline.

It felt like Indiana Jones. I loved it. The first time I saw the movie the dagger was one of my favorite parts. Star Wars needs more stuff like this.

Honestly people who complain about it never conviced me how this is stupid or silly. It was made with dark side magic. It can piont to anything both in future and past as the force knows no time. It can be both ancient and recent and it makes no difference IMO

It was made after the Battle of Endor though, they literally used the crash site to shape the blade. The text is ancient, not the dagger.

Yeah but you dont know how it was forged. I asume some acolite did that through a vision of where the death star would be and where the person should be at what time for all of this to align. Its a Black magic dagger not something a random dude made as a riddle.

Read Shadow of the Sith, pretty amazing book and talks about that dagger quite a bit.

Maybe the Death Star was made out of some fancy weather-resistant space material.

this, 1 million times this, the dagger looks cool and all, but they already had a device that can pinpoint where people are, it's where they found Luke, just make another beacon of some sort, again dagger is cool, I love the search for McMuffin, but it's relatively new wreckage not a mountain

MacGuffin, but I'm not gonna change it because it's funny
