The Journey of Jen, the Valley of Mystics - The Dark Crystal 1982 (02)

[@lostwanderer6649]

"Remember me Jen. We may meet in another life, but not again in this one"- dont know exactly why that sticks with me out of the scene but it does

[@hammeredandsauteed4644]

My paternal grandfather passed away shortly before I saw this in the theater. That line was comforting to me.

[@DingoDundee]

Nothing will ever come close to the pure imagination and creativity of this movie.

[@josephgover5072]

I'm becoming a writer, many greats before me were great writers as I follow thier footsteps

[@jordanelza8806]

Couldn’t have said it better myself. This is one of the best movies ever made, and always will be.

[@jesterjax8400]

This was my favorite film as a kid but as an adult i understand it more.

Jen is like a mix between Luke Skywalker and Frodo.

[@charlesthomas5956]

It was from 1977 the same year when starwars came out (When Jim Henson began filming this movie)

[@toddlindsay8846]

Jen, use the Force! It will guide you to the Crystal.

4:14 If The Mystic Master dying. The Skeksis Emperor too

[@MiguelofKing]

Because despite their division, they are still connected, the division of their races does not mean that their mutual connection is also divided. The connection persists, and this connection leads to the two races, once divided, becoming the original UrSkeks again.

[@pamelachilds1449]

Almost every creature in this movie is whimsical and cryptic. But mostly strange and imaginative at the same time. Also the characters may not have enough screen time but it’s mostly plot convenience. What mostly attracts me is the relationship between the two races that are somehow connected to their morals, their roles and their wills. In other words, how they live their lives in a new world of Thra.

go to New York's museum of moving museum of image - they have a permanent of exhibition -- THE DARK CRYSTAL!!!! And I visited - I was blown away. I love it so much. Thank you, NYMOMI!!!!!!

[@Stormkrow280]

Is he really the “Chosen One” when there isn’t anyone else?

[@angsty_saint]

Maybe that's what makes him the chosen *one* after all the prophecy didn't say chosen *few* even kira dies before the end leaving him alone even if for a moment

[@SankaJonesCreations]

The narrator _did_ say he was the Chosen One "at this time".

[@iantaakalla8180]

When Kira then becomes the chosen one just because the random forces realize Jen is not really doing much

[@kittybear4807]

"What was sundered and undone, shall be whole, the two made one, by Gelfling hand or else by none." That's the prophecy. Jen and Kira were the last two Gelflings but UrSkek kills her after Fizzgig bites SkekUng so it was Jen or nobody. For a moment, he was literally the last of his species. So, I guess was the only "one". Honestly, though, it doesn't matter. When it comes down to it, Thra was saved by Fizzgig.

[@BeckBeckGo]

Nah, any old Gelfling would have done. But the Mystics assumed he was the last. There was another one. And I highly suspect that, if anything had happened to him, they'd have recruited Kira. In a second. Because, and, let's be fair here, Kira got them there. Jen was just a really, really good project manager.

[@normanred9212]

in truth, this is a mid 1970s film(when it began)

[@charlesthomas5956]

More like "late" than "mid"

[@jordanelza8806]

You are correct. This movie took around 5 years to make. That means they started making it in 1977-ish, since it was released in 1982.

[@russellsprague1746]

When, Jen got to the valley of the Mystics. Then, at his master room Jen checks on his master to see if he's okay. Jen: master? Master: At the time winds three suns... Jen: master what's wrong? Master: you are in danger gelfling and I must leave you. Jen: Leave me? Master no. Master: Gelfling I have told you of the Skesis. Jen: The Skesis killed my mother and father. And don't know what Jen's master is saying of the words. Jen: I don't understand. Master: The Skesis will vlow you to destroy you. For the properties says you must find the shard. The crystal Shard. Jen: The crystal shard? Master: To save our world gelfling. You must find the Shard. (Groans) Before the three suns meet if not Skesis rule forever. Jen: Where is it? Master: Aughra holds the shard. Follow the greater sun for a day to the whole of Aughra. There she, knows the secrets. Jen: Aughra? Followed the greater sun? But master, I'm only a Gelfling. Master: I have should told you things long ago, now it's up to you. (Groans) Master: Remember me Jen, we meet in a another life (groans) but not again in this one. (Groans). Jen: Master, don't leave me?

He is, and Kira is the daughter of Brea and Rek'yr. From what people have theorized.

[@GalapagostheGrayWolf-qb7hr]

Really? I mean they never released a season 2 of The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance but that is a good prediction. Though I wish they released season 2, it may end like this but different.
