I did! It was quiet but lovely. I hope you had a good Christmas/holidays as well!
I don't often go for horror stories types of podcasts, but if you like those, Alice Isn't Dead and The Magnus Archives might be relevant to your interests!
Looking back, it definitely took me time to warm up to this comic and how it felt ham-fisted at the time, but I think--having now read the whole thing--that approach works, because the Empire itself wasn't subtle and Vader himself is a blunt weapon rather than anything more subtle. The Empire coming down on the Jedi like a ton of bricks, this entire story being a reflection of Vader, yeah, it works for me!
Anakin has always had fascist leanings, it's part of what makes him such an interesting character. He doesn't mean to be cruel or hurt others, but his own desires always seem to be more important than looking around at what other people say and want, in any meaningful way. Oh, he wants them to be happy, he cares about them very much, he hurts when they hurt! But ultimately he wants the galaxy to be his way and he always has.
