okay, i watched the damn thing again.
it was still just okay.
the cinematography was cool. as was the fight choreography. (especially the throne room scene)
it definitely had its moments. unlike some, i actually liked luke's character arc.
still. leia poppins space witch was a definite shark jump.
laura dern's character made some deeply stupid choices.
and the whole canto bright thing was trying way too hard to tack on a social justice message.
oh, and rose falling in love with finn felt like it came out of left field.
first viewing 6/10
