The music in this film is just in a league of its own.

[@jewelsystars6940]

Skeksil does lie here but he does also tell a truth because in age of resistance he does caution the skesis against draining all the gelfling So he did try to help in his own manipulative way.

1:32 Hint that she might be Brea's daughter?

[@trionabyrne217]

I'm not sure what gelfling clan is Kiara in the original 1982 movie.

[@Johnlindsey289]

Definitely

[@exploringwithkendra2898]

I just realized something and I could be wrong but, doesn't that throne room belong to Maudra Fara from Stone-in-the-wood? I'm just taking a wild guess there. Plus Jen has got to be related to Rian I mean the resemblance is there plus Kira could be related to our smart girl Brea. Do many questions left unanswered.

[@Johnlindsey289]

Definitely as Jen is part grotten and part Stonwood while Brea is part Spritton and Vapreon

[@lisadooley3872]

Actually Jen is StoneWood and Spriton as he was found just outside Sammi Thicket where his father Kylan lived, because the flute Jen plays is a firca which is a Gelfling instrument not a Mystic instrument so his father has to be Kylan the only Song Teller who lived during the Age of Resistance and yes that’s Stone in the Wood!! Kira is possibly Deet’s daughter because she has the same gift with communication with all of Thra’s animals like Deet and she was adopted by the Podding people who are related to Hup

@@Johnlindsey289Brea is Vapran not Grottan. Deet is Grottan! Kylan is StoneWood and Spriton! Rian is fully StoneWood

Cut off right before the best part...why is the colour so desaturated in these clips?

[@beatricesanfilippo6925]

3:16 I swear that Jen should killed the Chamberlain using the power of the Darkening as his mother Deet used it killing SkekLach because he know that the Skeksis monster killed his parents Rian and Deet

[@jakkuwolfinsomnia8058]

I actually thought Deet was his mother, was Rian his father?

[@beatricesanfilippo6925]

I Think the Chamberlain want only Jen because he is Rian and Deet's son. I Think that Chamberlain wanted to gets Revenge against Rian and Deet because they heals the crystal defeating the Darkening and making the Emperor weak and few years later the Chamberlain killed Rian and Deet in the front of little Jen. Why they didn't put Rian's ghost in original Dark Crystal to guide his son Jen to heals Thra? Well Dark Crystal is star wars's younger brother because the story are similars.

[@lisadooley3872]

I believe Jen’s father is Kylan because Jen has the flute that Kylan owns in the books and the series and Kira is Rian’s daughter because her name rhymes with Mirea the one girl that served as a guard beside Rian and Gurjin!! She was Rian’s first love

[@beatricesanfilippo6925]

@@lisadooley3872 You are wrong! Jen had blue eyes and i don't Think so if He is might be a Spriton because the Spriton are look alike Asian in their faces, so Jen He is might be a Stonewood because he had a Stonewood symbol in his clothes, someone Stonewood had blue eyes like Jen and Rian, so Jen is a Stonewood because he had a blue eyes. Kira is a vapran with her White hair and Amber eyes, and i don't Think so that is Rian's daughter because he didn't name Kira with a name similar to Mira but i Think it was Brea names her but with K from her Kylan because she heard about Mira's murderer from her sister Tavra and she believe that is not Rian killed Mira. So stop thinking please! I cannot finish the mistery about Dark Crystal while you Think that Rian is a fake bisexual with that idiot coward of Gurjin and he could be Kira's daddy while Jen is Kylan's child because he had a flute please! Kira is vapran and Jen is a Stonewood if you have seen very close to his eyes that were blue like lake in the original movie

[@beatricesanfilippo6925]

@@lisadooley3872 So Jen mentioned about this parents that were Rian and Deet at the beginning of the movie and so Deet is Jen's mommy with Rian ok? Rian is not bisexual! Maybe Gurjin will mate with Seladon ok? So Brea and Kylan were hidden their daughter Kira by Podling before they were killed by Garthim ok? Brea is actually Kira's mom and she made a briefly appareance in the original movie during Kira and Jen's dreamfasting ok? Is that clear, kid?

[@lisadooley3872]

Beatrice Sanfilippo how dare you call Gurjin a coward!!!!

[@lisadooley3872]

Beatrice Sanfilippo Kylan’s father is a member of the Stone in the Wood Clan and his mother is from the Spriton Clan it’s in the book when the Hunter killed his parents he was raised by the Spriton Maudra
