![]() ![]() ![]() Spy the symbols of the urSkeks, which have since been appropriated as signs of discord and Skeksis aggression. Familiar iconography from the floor of the Crystal Chamber are featured around the outside. The three different sized circular bases across our 1:6 scale Dark Crystal range represent the Three Suns in the skies of Thra the dying sun, rose sun, and great sun. ![]() Base shape that fits together with companion Kira when displayed side-by-side Set hundreds of years after the events of the first movie when the world has once again fallen into darkness, Power of the Dark Crystal follows the adventures.Sculpted from photos of the original puppet from The Dark Crystal (1982).Portrays the last of the Gelfling, the Mystic-raised hero.Afraid and uneasy as the Three Suns climb toward each other in the sky, Jen is left with more questions, a growing sense of dread, and a purpose yet to be understood or fulfilled. The Dark Crystal, a fantasy film, chronicles the journey of the Gelfling, Jen, in his quest to fulfil an ancient Prophecy. Journeying beyond the walls of the vale he seeks a creature by the name of Aughra, from whom he gains a strange gift: a glittering shard of pure crystal.īefore he can learn what to do with this artifact, crab-like Garthim, soldiers of the Skeksis, attack Aughra’s home, leaving Jen alone in the world that hunts him. The last of his kind, Jen bears the burden of a dark and terrible time before he was born, but while he knows of the cruel Skeksis who murdered his parents from his master’s stories, only as the Great Conjunction approaches does he learn the full truth of the tale and the part he must yet play in its telling.Ĭhange comes, and with the passing of urSu, the Master, Jen must forsake his home, farewelling his surrogate family to venture forth into strange lands. For beyond the confines of this hidden sanctuary the Three Suns burn above a world out of balance, where Gelfling are no more. With gentle, protective arms they keep him here, secret and safe from the horrors outside. It's fitting that the three main protagonists would be the parents of the original Dark Crystal characters who ultimately fulfill the prophecy.With kindness and patience, the ten gnarled sages share with Jen the shapes and names of the world of Thra. Knowing this should give fans hope that Deet will be cured of the sickness brought on by The Darkening, as it would be necessary for her romance with Rian to progress and result in Jen's birth. This could be considered an indirect confirmation of who is Jen's mother. Having the grandfather, father, and son each play a role in Thra's history would add another meaningful layer to already rich storytelling.Įverything comes full circle with The Jim Henson Company's admittance during the behind the scenes commentary about Rian and Deet's love story being the core of Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Ordon is hailed a great warrior during the Arathim Wars, and Rian bravely leads a rebellion against the Skeksis in Stone-in-the-Wood. There would be three generations of Stonewood clan heroes. Meanwhile, Deet's vision shows Rian trying to heal the crystal with the shard in a way similar to how Jen did in the movie.Īnother thoughtful tidbit is Jen completing the family circle with his heroic legacy. In the Age of Resistance, Deet is gifted with a vision from the sanctuary tree, offering a glimpse of a young female gelfling who looks remarkably like Princess Brea, and is also escaping with a baby. In The Dark Crystal, Jen & Kira are the two key figures, so it makes sense that the prequel would make some reveals about who they really are and where they come from.Īlthough Netflix's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance doesn't outright confirm who their parents are, it does drop some intriguing hints that make for strong evidence as to who they might be. In The Dark Crystal, during a dream-fast, Kira shares her earliest memories with Jen, which reveals her mother carrying her as an infant while fleeing the garthim. The three central characters in Netflix's prequel series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance could be parents of The Dark Crystal's characters Jen and Kira.
