That dagger is one of the most blatantly stupid things in the movie.

I expect it was supposed to be an Indiana Jones kind of trope, but no.

@FleischerSupes - It's a ripoff of the "dubloon" straight from the Goonies:

@FleischerSupes - at least the scepter had some logic behind it. The staff had to be so long, timing correct; the instructions were a puzzle, but not convoluted. The characters also spend the first third solving this riddle.

I enjoyed ROS more than others, but the dagger was so convoluted & stupid. The design is so ugly as well.

But did you spend time on why it didn't make any sense? Like at all? How could it be ancient, but also line up with the Death Star II EXACTLY. The DSII also was completely obliterated, but somehow massive chunks ended up on Endor? This whole trilogy was a waste, and this was the worst one by far

Ah yes, the dagger than revealed the location to the Wayfinder...

but then Kylo destroyed the Wayfinder so it was all for nothing...

but then Rey found a second Wayfinder anyway so it was all for nothing x2.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - @THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - oh man, I forgot there was a second wayfinder!

I don’t mind McGuffins in stories; you need some mystical properties to a larger than life story. But, I think you only get one. Three and you’ve wandered into illegible territory. It’s so sad to see Star Wars lowered to this; I hope the next iterations take their time and develop a story.

It’s so they could be sold at Disney at Galaxys Edge.. along with all the other merch they make soo much money for.. Authentic Black Kyber crystal? Not cheap.. rarer now with the shut down.. less of them available..

They mean McGuffin number 2, right?

@RedRider30 - Technically, I believe it was #3

One of the stupidest subplots in a Star Wars film. Not a single part of it made sense...

They really should've come up with a different way of tracking the location of the wayfinder. This dagger is up there with the dumbest things in the movie

Got to be honest that thing didn't have the most original design inside the Star Wars lore, but it's nice to have a closer look to the concepts behind it.
