While I really enjoyed it, I think it can be off putting to have 2 subplots going on on top of the main plot. Some of the character arcs, story details and themes tend to get lost in the intercutting. Everything felt a bit more cohesive on a second viewing.
I think each of the Disney era Star Wars movies needs a second viewing. The first time, you are almost overwhelmed trying to absorb everything. The second time you can relax.
