As you likely expected coming into this list, Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker unfortunately contains more unbelievably stupid moments than any other sequel entry.

Yes, it was also the Star Wars flick that finally brought back the incredible Lando Calrissian and chucked one of the finest duels of the series into the Skywalker Saga on Kef Bir. But that latter part of the story also involved one of the dumbest moments of the whole trilogy.

As Rey and co. search for the Sith wayfinder that will take them to the Sith world of Exegol, the granddaughter of Palpatine uses the Sith dagger they've picked up to locate the all-important item.

You see, that special knife just so happened to match up perfectly with the way the completely wrecked second Death Star was lying in the sea, with its tape measure thingy then showing the gang where they needed to go.

That's right, not only did they group manage to luckily land on exactly the right part of the planet to view this section of the broken space station, Rey also conveniently pulled out the wayfinder-finding dagger in the precise location needed for it to line up with one vital chunk of Death Star wreckage.

What are the chances, eh?

As far as plot contrivances go, they just don't come much sillier than this dumb dagger nonsense.
