The many expressions of Daisy Ridley

While that is true about no one having good material to work with, IMO Daisy was remarkably worst in her body language and facial expressions than the other actors. It is like the emotions she was being told to show were in direct contridictions with what her reactions should have been in certain scenes; especially at times were she is seemingly 'annoyed' by something but within context of those scenes she has nothing to be annoyed about.

2 come to mind: when she first meets BB-8 and reluctantly allows him to come with her she gives this roll of the eyes head nod (it makes no sense; why would she be annoyed with the driod she literally just saved from another scavenger asking to go with her) never mind the absurdity and lack of sense this scene makes (like why save the droid just send him off again) but the actual look she makes just seemed so incorrect for the situation. the 2nd example of this is when she 'bypasses the compressor' and Han gives a nod and walks away. She does this annoyed eye roll again. Why would she be annoyed? her expression makes no sense.

Then later when she is listening to Han tell stories she has this odd gaze longingly at him starring. She looked like one of the students out of Raiders of the Lost Arc starring at Indiana Jones; but in this Han was like a 75 year old man. So the look just seemed so odd.

They were all pretty bad, but Daisy just was especially noticeably bad.

Harrison Ford is not fully a bad actor. He is not great but he has a lot of on screen presence and charisma. Similar to someone like Brad Pitt. But yeah Ford was terrible returning as Han. He wasn't even acting. He was just being Harrison Ford and looking like he was annoyed at even being there the whole time. No enthusiasm; bored lazy delivery and the bad attitude were plan as day in TFA.
