I like the idea of the Sith eyes, but only have it when she does the Hissy thing. I feel like having it the whole time is a bit too much.

Also … the idea if the “real” Rey gets a super subtle yellow eye whenever she “kind of” commits to anything dark side would be interesting.

Also there is some work about the dagger? Changing a bit of C3P0’s dialogue? I am so down on that if it can be accomplished. Oh my goodness. What’s the plan on it?

Whenever Rey does Dark Side stuff? So…the lightning moment. And some of the vision stuff.

Great job establishing an internal conflict, Chris Terrio!

We’re trying to implement some of RogueLeader’s new ideas, which were detailed here: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-The-Rise-Of-Skywalker-Redux-Ideas-thread/id/71460/page/161#1421215

Basically, rather than having a literal map with literal coordinates, Rey will have to submit herself to the Dark Side to a degree. Then, the Dagger will present her with a vision of wherever the Wayfinder happens to be located (i.e. presently, Endor). So, it’s not really a “prophecy”; but just trying to work in more elements of Rey’s darkness, and also making the Dagger-map feel less stupid. (I still don’t know who carved the damn thing. Was it Ochi? He always did want to be an artist.)

Thanks for that clarification and pointing to that post. I like those ideas. A lot. RogueLeader does it again with his ideas!

Also, having the Dagger be more of a “compass” of sorts works well, especially the point he made about why Rey goes back for the Dagger. Her response of “a feeling” adds more to that rational. I mean, the original cut of the movies has her go retrieve the dagger because of “a feeling” even though they got the information they needed about the wayfinder. So this concept gives it more purpose of needing the dagger due to it having dark side Forceness to it without having a goofy convoluted origin and McGuffin to a McGuffin aspect of it (Really, shaped and hand a ‘pointer’. Really?!). I. Like. It.
