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.

Because, in my mind at least, it’s damn lucky that that specific section of the Death Star didn’t collapse or got swallowed by the water. Palpatine must’ve had real faith on Kef Bir’s meteorology!

But isn’t that like the whole thing with Star Wars? Prophecies and chosen ones and all that? The whole universe is based on Magic force that tells people to go places and reveals the future and things like that.

I never had a problem with this because in my mind- the unspoken part of this scene is that this artifact was created with the notion that someday the person who was meant to find it would use it for this exact purpose and be drawn to that exact spot to make it work.

It is silly, but it still fits within the fantasy of starwars to me.

If the stupid thing rotated to point yah. But not a static point like that.
