Perhaps, if we get another Pirates movie, this discrepancy can be explained. A couple lines of dialogue might have been all that was needed to say, here's why that other bit isn't really true. Terry Rossio has been a credited writer for the entire Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, including the newest film, and one would think he would have noticed the continuity issue being presented. The jar of dirt was a glass jar filled with dirt, given to Captain Jack Sparrow by Tia Dalma as a form of protection against Davy Jones during Sparrows search. Still, the fact that the previous backstory wasn't even dealt with is odd. The compass is vital to the story and bringing Tia Dalma into it would have likely required a seriously large shoehorn.

The change in the history certainly makes more sense as far as the plot of the new movie goes. It's possible, perhaps, that Jack had the compass stolen from him at some point, we've seen that happen, and he then had to barter with Tia Dalma in order to get it back, but does that make sense? Why would Jack Sparrow, of all people, be willing to barter for something that he believed was his? Even if Tia Dalma wasn't the one who actually stole it, why would a pirate be willing to make a deal for something when just taking it makes so much more sense? He's a pirate, he doesn't barter for things that don't belong to him. We know that Jack Sparrow could not have given up the compass after the events in the flashback, as doing so would have brought about the freedom of Salazar, as it does in the new film. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales appears to have completely retconned the history of the compass. Jack Sparrow got the compass from Tia Dalma, who is actually the sea goddess Calypso, not the captain of the Wicked Wench. The line is brief and ultimately unimportant to the plot of the original trilogy, and so it's never brought up again, but there it is. Whatever happens in these movies, the compass is the thing that helps drive the characters toward the action. It leads Jack to the Isle de la Muerta in the first film, to the heart of Davy Jones in the second, and helps Gibbs get back the Black Pearl in On Stranger Tides. The compass is magical, and it points toward that which the holder most desires, be that treasure, love, or really anything at all. However, later we learn that the reason the compass doesn't point north, is that the holder isn't looking for north. It's dismissed at the beginning of the first film as a "compass that doesn't point north," an indication that Jack Sparrow is something of a joke as a sailor.
Jack Sparrow's compass receives one of the great introductions in movie history. The only problem, we already knew how he got the compass, and this wasn't it. We also learn how he obtained his special compass, which has become a vital part of the franchise's history. We learn how he first became a captain, and where he got his hat. We get to see the moment that young Jackie actually becomes Jack Sparrow. The frame comes with a numbered plaque (indicating which of the only 2500 of these compasses you purchased) and a certificate of authenticity.One of the more entertaining aspects of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, is the way it expands on the history of Captain Jack Sparrow. It's quite a frame, antiqued and carved to give it the appropriate look of the period. The compass comes with a masterfully crafted mounting frame that matches the ones from Captain Jack Sparrow's Sword and Flintlock Pistol. A latching cover has a blue star map inscribed on it to help with celestial navigation and to give a more sophisticated look to this fabulous nautical device. The compass is smartly built of simulated ebony wood, with brass-colored needles and a bright, colorful compass rose. In all seriousness, the compass does come with a mechanism that causes the needle to turn towards "your heart's desire." It's possible that it could just turn in a random direction, but how would you know if you don't follow it? If nothing else, it's a great tool for non-assertive couples trying to decide where to go for dinner. Oh, sure, we happened to be backstage at the Victoria's Secret fashion show, surrounded on all sides by lingerie models, but I'm sure it would have worked anywhere else, too. We held the compass and watched the needle turn to point to one of our greatest desires. The Master Replicas reproduction of Jack Sparrow's Compass is no different when held, it points to your heart's greatest desire. When the compass is held by someone in the movie, the needle points in the direction of that person's greatest desire. In the movie, Captain Jack Sparrow uses this mystical - nay, outright magical - compass in his quest to find the Dead Man's Chest. Yes, it's a compass, and yes, it plays a major part of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. We are sorry but this item is no longer available.
