seen this when it came out as a kid, wonderful memories.

This may sound odd, but seeing it in the credits, it makes PERFECT sense Augrah was puppeteered by Frank Oz.

They tried to make a sequel, but they couldn't get anyone to back it. So they made the sequel into a comic book series called "The Power of The Dark Crystal."

Powerful!! I love this scene so much!! The merging of your light and dark self to become our higher self. Dark and light must coexist in its wholeness. Scared me as a kid but....not a kid anymore. Dope!! 🔥🔥🔥

I'm not arguing for an unhappy ending or anything but it always kinda bugged me that the Skeksis' negative traits seemed to just disappear. They didn't come out of nowhere, they were split apart as the opposite half of the Mystics. The restored being admits their arrogance and rashness caused the dark age. Yet after being "made whole," their evil halves seem curiously absent, they're all light and wisdom and healing.

Yeah, that's a good point. Maybe the Crystal of Truth was able to purify them when it fused them back together, taking the determination and passion of the Skeksis and leaving behind the malice and selfishness.

I think it is more that the Skeksis were total evil -- not OK. And the Mystics were total good -- also not OK. When combined together, they are "whole". Absolute good is just as "bad" as absolute evil -- just a very different kind of bad. For example, the Mystics were too good aligned to do anything about the 1000 years of chaos and had to rely on a neutral race, the Gelflings, to get everyone out of this situation.

Agreed. I might've liked to have seen the mystics in the middle of the film. Jen could've been been raised by podlings and left to seek out the mystics for help against the skeksis. For a couple of scenes he gets the story on how they came to be separated...but he only receives cryptic encouragement through riddles...and in the end they are of no help because everything is relative to them and they are neutral in all affairs of the universe. So Jen musters the courage to save Thra and the gelfling race. It is in his courage that this is done, and of course in cooperation with the prophecy. (In fact, some wise men of India have criticized the stereotypical "guru" or "mystic" for their isolation in caves ,mountain tops and far away places as loners... and for the denial of their bodies and their earthly existence. In their minds, denying their human place among their own race is the folly of the mystic.) By the end of the show, the two creatures should've been made Whole into a creature that was wholly rational, powerful, but highly emotional and present as one would expect of a creature joining its selfish and shortsighted self with its eternal and wise self. The United being should've shed tears for what it did to the planet and the extermination of the gelfling race. And perhaps the tears might've healed Kira. Could you imagine how heart wrenching that would've been to see? But all in all I feel that the esoteric message of the film still comes across decently. NStill a masterpiece in its own right. Here's hoping that season 2 of the DC series gets made eventually! 🥂

Now We Leave You The Crystal Of Truth. Make Your World In It's Light.

@forestsmith1892 I appreciate your comments. The UrSkeks who came to (were exiled to) Thra failed in their initial test to become more pure and failed again in breaking the crystal. A whole bunch of them had no chance to learn having their existence end before rejoining. The remaining Mystics continued to strive for purity and maybe achieved it away from the crystal...but the final test would be facing their corrupted selves that remained in rejoining. Apparently they transcended back to being UrSkeks And were acceptable enough to return to their race.

When I was a kid, I loved that film - always thought the crystal is in New Zealand.

This pure crystal castle is my kind of castle with WIFI and a HD TV with Tubi, Disney+, Paramount+ and Netflix ❤

Imagine the UrSkeks as Jedi Grand Masters

This scene will forever live in my heart and the background music is amazing and the hymn of the singers is so beautiful

For having no computers to work with back then they sure did good special effects

I dont think the skeksis themselves were meant to be inherently evil, that's just how they turned out. We see that with the heretic in age of resistance. I think they were the culmination of traits that we need to survive but can turn destructive if not properly guided. Pride, ego, fear, pleasure, etc. None of these are inherently bad, but can turn ugly. Compared to the mystics, who are compassion, self, sorrow, flow, etc. These are true emotions, but they lack the will of survival and drive to take them to places to better resonate. The reunion into urskeks is like the reunion of mind and heart. Now, they can properly survive and continue to resonate in a more active way. These straights that made the skeksis become so cruel will always be there. Yet this is something humans have as well. We must properly guide our survival tendencies, less they drive us to destruction

From what I heard, the Skeksis were alright back then. Likable and easy to get along with. Heretic is a fine example. Until the bitterness of mortality got the better of them.

I really like this movie but it always bothers me that the Skeksis seem to have no punishment after causing so much terrible pain and suffering on Thra!! Their combined selves, the urSkeks leave the planet, so hurrah for that, but is that really any sort of big price to pay after what their evil halves did?!

The Urskeks will never be able to rejoin their homeland, they've been cast out and the UrRu rejoined with the Skeksi half means they will have to carry the guilt for their entire immortal life. That's why the Skeksi's fought so hard to never be reunited because the newfound empathy would be a debilitating existence, there's plenty of atonement to be had even if we don't see the remaining Urskek's punished.

The skesis have ceased to exist. As have the mystics. The urskeks are happy to be whole. But now they must love with the guilt of the memories of their crimes as the skeksis, and their regret of their Mystic halves spending many trine doing anything to stop the genocide of the gelflings and other species of Thra

Derek Jacobi would've done a great voice in this movie

The music reminds me a lot of Poltergeist.

The Skeksis were great. It’s a shame they were evil.
