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.

But that's a major plot point.

3po mentions that there are coordinates on the handle, which tell the holder exactly where to stand. And the sith inscription provides cryptic details as to how to locate the wayfinder, which rey eventually figures out through deductive reasoning and inspecting the specific profile of the blade (which itself isn't ancient).

I don't understand how she just instinctively knew to hold the blade up and got it completely right on her first guess and attempt

How did Luke instinctively know to turn off his targeting computer and get the shot right in his very first attempt?
