I appreciate your breakdown of it, Burbin. Although the dagger change was initially because I didn’t like the logic of how the dagger worked, I think the replacement is worth the effort, because it actually contributes to challenging Rey’s character in a way that it didn’t before. It is actually relevant to Rey’s main conflict, where the original wasn’t.

I think there was some confusion as to when Rey would first see a vision, or hear whispers, of the Wayfinder’s location, but that wouldn’t be until she at least picks it up on Ren’s Star Destroyer. But like I said, the main benefit isn’t really simplifying plot conveniences, it is showing Rey confronting the darkness within her.

But, I didn’t make this suggestion for Ascendant, originally, so if people don’t like it it doesn’t have to be included. I can try to work out the kinks and then a decision can be made about it.
