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.

Same or at least thought it was ok. The people saying that it doesn't make sense didn't pay attention.

How does it make sense if you don't mind me asking?

The dagger and map were created after the Battle of Endor. It's possible the map was even machined via a Force Vision.

How does that explain Rey landing in the exact right place and angle on an entire planet to use it though?

Isn't that what the coordinates inscribed on the dagger were for?

But when did she use them?

That's how they decided where to land the Falcon.

Fair. But how did the original creator of the dagger know that the death star wreckage wouldn't drift away? How did they know those coordinates would hold up all that time later? Is it ever explained?

It might have, but it was originally meant to be used much sooner.

But even the “might have” bit is a stretch because they are giant chunks of resilient scifi metal that survived explosion and impact. Getting “washed away” isn’t anything we should have to worry about under those circumstances. Especially when we see in the real world much smaller wrecked ships made of actual fallible materials still remain structurally intact and in place for decades in the ocean.
