I saw the first Star Wars movie in theaters in 1977 and The Empire Strikes Back in 1980. In 1983, I was older but felt that Star Wars was not going to keep up with me as I matured. I didn't want teddy bears and immature storytelling but that's all that Star Wars became as time went on. So I lost interest. Rogue One showed a glimpse of what an adult Star Wars could be and now Andor fulfills that.
I've missed the drama and character development that first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back but was squashed a mere three years later by George Lucas in his attempt to monetize the toy market. Those of us growing up required more than teddy bears, annoying characters like Jar Jar Binks, and cringy dialogue.
This is Star Wars for those of us who grew up.

Seeing the synopsis, I was really looking forward to seeing the transformation of Paul Holderfield. Unfortunately, it was not to be seen in this film. There was little in the way of a transformation. Holderfield is portrayed from the start as someone already conflicted and not very racist, especially for a white man in the 60s south. The movie ended before you saw his journey to build his desegregated church. All you get are a few blurbs about it before the end credits, which, by the way, didn't come soon enough. The acting was abysmal, with the notable exception of Linda Purl. If you are looking for a far better religious-oriented film about a transformation, see Father Stu.
