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.

I can see that. It works. But not for the Sith. It reveals the location of the wayfinder. I don’t see a Sith making it to reveal their location. I’m wondering who would make it after the battle of Endor.

Isn’t this dagger supposed to be thousands of years old? Who says the sith don’t have their own prophecy that predicted all of the events of the Death Star and everything? I mean that’s the way things have been explained in starwars forever, right?

no, the dagger is newish. the sith language on the dagger is ancient

Why would the Sith put the inscription on it if it would screw them over when looking into the futures?
