The Last Jedi. The guy fucked the canon so bad Abrams had to come back with “somehow Palpatine returned” to try to salvage any semblance of a storyline.
Just the hyperspace ramming alone shows the massive problems with that script. For the first time in the IP, every ship with a hyperdrive is a fleet shattering WMD. This immediately leads people to ask “If they could do that why don’t they always do that? Why don’t they rig up torpedoes that are nothing but a hyperdrive with a droid taped to it?”
Johnson wanted a pretty image and a trumped up climax, so he added hyperspace ramming because fuck whoever needs to write that into future films. Sure as shit, Abrams has to come back in the next move and try to handwave it away by having someone say “it was a one in a million shot”.
Disney let Johnson do whatever he wanted to an IP they paid ungodly amounts of money for, and other people had to come clean up the mess and take the blame for it. This entire problem could have been solved by Disney leadership giving a shit, having a long term plan, and supervising the people executing that plan.

youre acting like star wars itself isnt built on having to ask/answer questions for what just happened LMAO
like, that and star wars are quite literally synonyms
i bet back in the day, youd have the same thoughts on empire, like many people also did back then
