Plus, I don’t actually hate the Goonies-style “line up the dagger” thing as a concept. It is dumb that Rey just stands in an arbitrary spot anywhere on a kilometres-long shoreline for it to work, though, and my idea is to add a specific marker that she has to stand on and line the dagger up with, like the medallion in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It certainly don’t make no sense, though, that’s for sure. I’ve spent longer thinking about it than Terrio or Abrams probably did.
Why do people forget that C-3PO told them where to stand?
While it’s true he does tell them, it seems way too convenient that the place 3PO tells them to stand is also the exact same place they happen to crash the Falcon.
