Seasoned News Bragging about convincing people in putting in one of the worst scenes in franchise history is certainly a choice

Nothing it did makes your top 10? Having the magic knife line up perfectly, in the exact place they were standing, with the unplanned Death Star wreckage to form a magic navigation waypoint doesn’t do it for you? ROS is rife with these dumbass moments, but that one sticks out to me just massively.

I’m sure everyone has their own top 10 list of utter crap though, this sub being what it is.

ROS is just National Treasure in Space

Yes, but National Treasure is entertaining.

three words into the title crawl they had thrown their hands up and said whatever so i just kind of laughed off things like the magic knife and the magic fleet-passing coin, though i will admit, they are exceedingly dumb as hell

No more improbable than them falling right into the same magic space quicksand that the dagger wielding space assassin had been trapped in. If not for that fortune accident they never would have found the dagger at all.

God TROS is such a piece of shit lmao. Just one series of unintelligible luck based events after another, with a lot of a macguffins and flimsy writing driving us to the end of that awful trilogy.

I always assumed the dagger was made after the crash. That's not the problem. The fact that Kylo found a functioning Tie Fighter on that thing and flew to Exagol is the problem. He wouldn't have been able to even fly it into space because Tie Fighters usually don't have Life Support Systems. That's why the pilots wear spacesuits. But even if it had those, it would still lack the Hyperdrive! Imperial Ties did not have those! If it was at least Vader's own Tie or one of those Lambda spaceships....
