I've been pretty non-bloggy for a really long time, thus the no posting.

I did see it and I did like it, but I also had some issues that prevented me from adoring it like The Force Awakens and Rogue One.

1) Too many things sub-plots. Each individual story arc was excellent. I feel like this movie should have been split into two. Because they couldn't, it made the movie feel really choppy and disconnected in a way that it actually wasn't
2) This is super nitpicky - too much slavish devotion to either the structure of the original 3 and/or the cartoon. Seriously, we've seen that throne room scene before. And Laura Dern's purple hair looked as out of place as a Ford Fiesta would have. It just threw me out of every single scene she was in. And don't get me wrong, I love purple hair. I had it myself for a while.
3) Snoke looked too much like a cartoon to take seriously. It's time for movies to lay off the CGI created characters for a while.

I do want to see it again, though and I will be purchasing it.
