Henson and Froud's effort in being incredibly original isn't lost on people who appreciate the strangeness they made. Very inspiring.

Apparently, the UrSkeks' homeworld had its own Crystal. Perhaps there is a network of worlds with a central Crystalline object.

I love that you are bringing more videos and commentary. I know you said you would stop because of personal reasons, but I am asking you to please not stop. The background music of your videos is perfect and so comforting. You have the best take not only on the movie but the few videos of the Netflix series, YOU HAVE THE PULSE ON EVERYTHING DARK CRYSTAL (IMHO). I believe your are the best to deliver the interpretations that the fans of this franchise need to hear. Sorry if this comment contradicts you. You have the best view that everyone of your followers (including me) loves.

I giving this a try. I watched Dark Crystal when I was seven and I was traumatised...so now than I am 30 I should fight my fears heads on.

If I had watched it at that age I would have loved, cause I was a fan of horror movies since I was little, though I was more into the supernatural/magical aspects than in the horror itself, actually, the horror should only be used as it is in the Dark Crystal, as a warning of what we should not allow ourselves to become or contaminated with, whereas in old horror movies they didn´t teach many values but just fear of the unknown, which is not a good thing. The Dark Crystal only teaches good values of respect for diversity, love for nature and life and respect for ancient pagan cultures.

Dude! Your channel is great! The Dark Crystal is one of my favorite movies ever, I'm so excited to see what other videos you do!

Life on Thra seems backwards from Earth, at least on the macro scale, in that here we have the plant, animal, and fungus kingdoms, but then we have very few phylum with hundreds of species. Thra on the other flange looks like it has hundreds of phyla (or at least several dozen) and just a few species in each.

You have a new subscriber. Awesome work.

I remember watching it as a kid I got curious about the planet since they just made a series dedicated to it

As a kid, I’ve always dreamed of a Star Wars/ Dark Crystal crossover? Do you think those 2 universes could coexist? I know I wouldn’t be exactly popular with most fans even suggesting this crossover but you have to admit...it’s tempting. I can’t be the only one who thought about this. Just think for a moment if the Mystics and the Skeksis are one in the same the good and the bad than Annikin Skywalker is the “Mystic” and his “Skeksis counterpart is Darth Vader. This could be one of the Jedi secrets. More importantly where do think the Crystal gets its power? I want to leave you with this video. This provokes a lot of thought. kzread.info/dash/bejne/rImFk8-fl8qzY8o.html

Tbh is it crazy but the music and your reading of this story, kinda gives me nostalgia of when my mother would read to me the bible or my father would tell me the storys of my native american ancestors storys of creation 😌❤ tbh this is why I kinda love the artistic wrighting of the dark crystal - it's like listening to a poetic bedtime story or peace of beautiful scripture

gelflings are beautiful

Longer videos would be awesome.

i grew up on Thra, miss my home deeply Astrological Quantum void bought me to this dirt bag planet

Thank you for this! You rock my socks!

Thra sounds like Terra... Terra is/means Earth (Gaia also is/means Earth, sometimes - which is like the duality of the UrSkeks dividing into the UrRu and Skeksis) (just a thought)

That I am not sure and the writers have said they are very fluid with time and will just stay vague and say things like, "it isn't exactly a year", but they explain it is more to not give spoilers as to when something exactly takes place so you can't deduce some plot points based on how far away it is from the film. So I assume those answers will eventually come, for now it is more vague.

I believe the movie explains that the UrSkeks broke it deliberately which caused them to be split into the Ursu and the Skeksis. The parts were scattered to be reassembled save for a single chard.

Originally it was names Mithra, but since that was also a name for a god they decided to change it.

Shouldn't the crystal be white at this point (1:20)? It only became dark after being broken.

I agree and think it should have, since that is how you see it at the end of the movie once it is restored. I think they made it purple just so it was familiar to us since that is its iconic look.

Trevor Jones worked with Jim Henson since preproduction of the movie. Maybe, what if that Thra song is in the notes Trevor composed at the beginning of the soundtrack?

Even though it was inspired by New Age spiritualism and Hindu-Buddhist cosmology, I've always felt strong parallels with Abrahamic origin stories. UrSkeks being banished from the heavens, sent to earth, rule the creatures, impose a kind of 'state religion' on the Gelflings, then a single male and female Gelfling being told to repopulate the earth...
