Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker introduced the Sith Wayfinder, the only way to find Exegol - and Lucasfilm is finally hinting at its origin.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker introduced an ancient Sith Wayfinder, and it now seems this was one of the oldest dark side technologies. The unexpected return of Emperor Palpatine left both Rey and Kylo Ren scrambling to find a way to the ancient Sith redoubt of Exegol, and it didn't take them long to discover the only way to get there was through the use of a Sith Wayfinder.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The Jedi had light side versions of the Wayfinder, too. Luke Skywalker was seen with a mysterious compass in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and it is implied this guided him to Ahch-To, site of the first Jedi Temple. The Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Visual Dictionary confirmed this was another type of Wayfinder, known as a "Star Compass" by the Jedi.
The History Of The Sith Wayfinders & Jedi Star Compasses Is Becoming Clear This means it's now possible to speculate about the history of Sith Wayfinders and Jedi Star Compasses. One faction of the Sith, called "Darkseekers," traveled the galaxy looking for potential rival dark side factions. Their mission was simple; to eliminate all potential threats to the Sith, while stealing Force powers and technology.
The Sith seem to have developed Wayfinders and Holocrons first, but the Jedi then imitated and adapted the technology. The war between the Jedi and Sith would have demanded more secrecy from the Jedi as well, which would explain why they started using Star Compasses to conceal the location of specific worlds. It surely wouldn't be long before they, too, learned to make use of Holocrons as well - figuring out new ways to pass on crucial lessons to the next generation of Star Wars heroes.
