It’s just that when I watched Ascendant for the first time a few weeks ago the goonies moment with the dagger wasn’t there and I just assumed that I hadn’t been paying attention and missed it. So I definitely think that if a newcomer watched that having seen the original film they may be confused about its absence as well.
It does seem like the dagger would have been made recently by Ochi, doesn’t it? It may be easier to find one moment to state that somewhere rather than change several moments to make the blade seem older.
If the blade was made, say, fifteen years ago, then it would even make sense to keep the goonies moment in.
JEDIT: Maybe we can change the dialoge from this:
“There’s writing on it.”
“Perhaps I can translate.”
“The location of the wayfinder has been inscribed upon this dagger. It’s the clue master Luke was looking for.”
“And? Where’s the wayfinder?”
“I’m afraid I cannot tell you.”
to something like this:
“There’s writing on it.”
“Perhaps I can translate.”
“Why, this blade was forged sixteen years ago…by Ochi of Bestoon. And look! Inscriptions concerning a Sith Wayfinder.”
“And? Where’s the wayfinder?”
“I’m afraid I cannot tell you.”
