1) Watched it all and loved it. 2) It didn't hit me until a day later. But I knew I knew the actor that plays Jaskier (The Bard) from somewhere... and it hit me. It's because I actually know him (Well, have met, at the very least). And gotten rather shitfaced with him. Every year Cambridge University does a tour in America performing Shakespeare and they often stop at my alma mater because we're awesome like that. He was part of the 2009 production that rolled through. When they come through, we watch their show, then us theater students throw a big ass party that's usually shut down by the cops where there's US v UK drinking games and flirting and all that fun stuff. I spent a lot of that night on a patio a group of us having drinks, smokes (regular and weed), and singing together while one of us played an acoustic (Jason Mraz "I'm Yours" was played a lot).... Don't recall if Joey was apart of that particular group or not, as it was 10 years ago... but we definitely have partied together.

Really enjoyed it. There were a number of rough spots, but I feel like most of those were trying to recover from some of the weird story choices in TLJ, working around Carrie Fisher's death, or both. If they had a consistent script writer/story planner through all 3 movies I feel like it would have gone a LOT better, but I'm happy with what we got all things considered. They were able to do a lot more with Leia than I was expecting since they said they wouldn't CG her into it and would only make use of unused footage from the last two movies.
