Regardless of if 3PO gets redubbed, I think it’d be worth to consider removing the “horrible things” line (which some find asinine as she’s holding Anakin’s saber with her other hand) as well as removing momma rey’s scream both times she picks it, taking advantage of these moments to introduce and shift the focus to the concept of Rey hearing whispers emanating from the dagger instead.

I agree with this totally … she literally says that while holding the Youngling Slayer 9000. 😂

Also removing the shouting and focusing on the whispering helps focus the concept of the dagger guiding, not just a memory thingy.

Rey clearly has that one Force ability that lets her see the history of an object when first touching it. If she was going to see what it did during Order 66 that would have happened in TFA.

I for one think it shouldn’t be whispering to her until she is on Endor because otherwise it gives the impression that the dagger could have led her to the wayfinder without 3PO’s help.

Lol. It was retconned into this movie to help “explain” the first vision scene in TFA. Not only does she see the history of the object she touches now … but also stuff about her or how it connects to her … which is why in the vision in TFA had some of her history. Before the vision in TFA had nothing to do with any ability of her, but the force/lightsaber calling out to her.

Also, here is another issue … then why not see what happened to her parents right away when she touches it? It was the last thing the dagger most likely did AND it directly connects to her. So the TFA vision, now retconned to now being another special Rey thing that allows her to both see the history of a thing AND how she is connected to it right when she touches it … but not the dagger that has DIRECT HISTORY/CONNECTION TO HER?

So why not remove that plot hole anyway AND keep the dagger’s purpose more concise?
