- Anything else we can do about the dagger? And I wonder about reinstating it being depicted as her parents’ murder weapon; it was removed to allow for greater clarity that it can mystically reveal directions to the wayfinder.
I realize this might not be a popular thought, but as I watched Ascendant with a ‘fresh’ mind the other day, I felt that it wasn’t quite clear enough in depicting how the dagger was leading Rey to the Wayfinder unless you were already aware of the behind-the-scenes change made for this edit.
Perhaps if some sort of effect was added to it, especially on Endor / DS2 it could be made more clear what’s happening. In the Clone Wars, when Savage Opress found Darth Maul, the necklace given by Mother Talzin functioned similarly to the way the dagger operates in Ascendant, however it had a clear visual effect on the necklace when he approached Maul.
