	'''''The Dark Crystal''''' is a fantasy film directed by Frank "Yoda~~" Oz~~ and ~~Jim "~~The Muppets" ~~Henson~~. It probably traumatized a bunch of internet critics when they were kids; it’s also one of the many fantasy films being produced during the ~~1970s~~, and (in parts) one of the most original. The entire film doesn’t contain a single human, as all its characters are portrayed by puppets. Eventually, the movie spawned a plethora of comics and books; it further boosted the career of Brian Froud, fantasy artist who specializes in pictures of trolls and elves. The folkloric kind.		'''''The Dark Crystal''''' is a fantasy film directed by Jim "The Muppets" Henson and Frank "Yoda (and also The Muppets)" Oz. It probably traumatized a bunch of internet critics when they were kids; it’s also one of the many fantasy films being produced during the early 1980s, and (in parts) one of the most original. The entire film doesn’t contain a single human, as all its characters are portrayed by puppets. Eventually, the movie spawned a plethora of comics and books; it further boosted the career of Brian Froud, fantasy artist who specializes in pictures of trolls and elves. The folkloric kind.

	If you’ve heard of this movie, it’s probably because of its extremely alien and original universe, from which the film and the series only show a fraction. The world of Thra is filled to the grim with creatures that either are so alien you can’t even describe them or so dangerous that Gygax might consider them too gross to even use in his campaigns. It’s also a world of beauty and magic, where every living thing is connected to one another, thanks to the titular crystal. It’s also being abused by a clique of elitist schmucks from which [[/pol/]] has drawn many unfortunate comparisons.

	The Emperor is, without a doubt, an extremely [[Star_Wars_Movies#The_coming_of_the_prequel_trilogy\|serious menace]], capable of leading a bunch of backstabbing bastards who cannot be trusted into creating a complex, if self-sufficient, bureaucracy that allows SkekSo to rule over the Gelflings with an iron fist, leaving all the dirty work to his SkekSi subordinates. While he isn't a warmonger per-say, because that title fits SkekVar and SkekUng, The Emperor ~~HATES~~ being trod on, meaning that if it you ever attempt to backstab, betray or even disobey him in any way, he ~~WILL~~ erase you and your kind from history. For example, the Makraks refused to give up their independence to obey the Skeksis, so SkekSo tasked SkekUng and SkekGra to simply get rid of them, and in the best of scenarios, enslave them.

	Slow, quiet and peaceful creatures that are the polar opposite of the Skeksis. They live isolated from the rest of the world and practice shamanism everyday. They live simple lives and follow their rituals in such manners that they’d make a Buddhist jealous. You would assume they’d fight the Skeksis on a daily basis because of their direct opposition to materialism and wrong-doing, but no. The Skeksis are always on the move, they make change, they adapt themselves to new situations and actually do something, the UrRu do not intervene and never attempt to change the world. Their greatest failing is complacency.		Slow, quiet and peaceful creatures that are the polar opposite of the Skeksis. They live isolated from the rest of the world and practice shamanism everyday.

	Needless to say, they don’t do a whole lot in the franchise. However, some of them are more rebellious, and actually try to do something and prevent Thra from being completely corrupted. The Archer and the ~~Wonderer~~ being two examples of that. Unfortunately, because of their reclusive habits, they are perceived as stuff of legends by the Gelflings.

	Jen is essentially the one character that guides the audience in the world of Thra, or rather, discovers the world with them. He isn't clueless because he's naive, but because narratively speaking, having a know-it-all character serving as your main guide in a completely alien world isn't the best thing to have. Imagine if Frodo was capable of lore-dumping on any character present in the Lord of the Rings.

	Kira, on the other hand, is a crafty Gelfling girl who's friends with all the animals. Although she is incredibly frail and quite sensitive, she's more fit for adventuring and questing than ~~his~~ male counterpart. Unlike Jen, however, she was raised by Podlings and somehow learned how to speak their language and talk with animals.

	What's remarkable about these two is that they become the ones to "replenish Thra with Gelflings" and soon after become their king and queen. Now how did they achieve that? Good question.
