The closest to bad would be Episode 2, but it’s still far less narratively incoherent than Kasdan’s Episode 7.
I have to disagree with that. Episode 7 is derivative and forced, but it has a much more coherent narrative than the mess that is Episode 2.
This seems impossible to believe if you look at the issue clear eyed.
I’m not at home so I’ll just use an example rather than write a wall of text on every similar example in the film.
Take Finn. He’s supposed to be a “programmed from birth” Nazi, basically. And yet he defects out of sadness at his friend’s death or something, then proceeds to whoop and holler as he blows troppers up later.
He also doesn’t really display signs of indoctrination besides being a bit of a beta Male at times. His personality seems too well adjusted.
Contrast that, with, say, Anakin in Episode 2. He’s much more consistent. (I can point to one minor instance of him being a little too flip for the context, but that’s it.)
The problem with JJ Abrams and people who liked TFA more than the PT is that they confuse “likeability” with quality.
