00:11I saw Dark Crystal in the same theatre that I watched Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark and
00:18E.T.
00:18I just remember it being quite an overwhelming experience.
00:21Another one of those movies where you come out of the cinema slightly changed.
00:25It's such an incredibly all-encompassing, vivid world on a level with Middle-earth or Pandora or Westeros.
00:34Dark Crystal does mean a lot to so many people. It is a rare film that has an entirely original
00:41fantasy world.
00:42That's one of the reasons we wanted to go back there.
00:45The series is a prequel. It starts in the time when the Gelfling had a rich and prosperous civilization.
00:52All hail the Lords of the Crystal!
00:58All hail the Skeksis!
01:00We're meeting these characters right at the peak of the Skeksis' power.
01:04They look up to the Skeksis. The Skeksis are these benevolent leaders. They are the Lords of the Crystal.
01:10And our show is the moment that the Gelflings start to say, maybe they aren't so great.
01:14Lie, official!
01:16Rian is the son of the Captain of the Guard. He witnesses something horrific.
01:22The Skeksis are the real traitors. They lied to us about everything.
01:26He basically has to go on this kind of quest to set things right and make everyone aware of what's
01:30really going on.
01:31Rian has escaped with proof of our dark deeds. Bring him and the treasure he stole from us back to
01:38the castle.
01:39I was taken aback. I was just sideswiped by the scale and majesty and artistry of it.
01:45I think you'll get a sense of that. You'll get a sense of a big, eclectic world.
01:49Our world is dying. We all have a part to play in restoring the balance and defeating the Skeksis.
01:58What fans of The Dark Crystal want is they want an odyssey. They want a saga.
02:02They want something to enrich the universe of the original film. And that's what this series does.
02:07You could put them side by side and it is the same world, but there's just so much more of
02:11it to explore.
02:18This shows you have a few scenes.
02:20You must avoidεται a bit.
02:26You'll skip this kind of episode.
02:27But until this one episode shows you it together.
02:27Grazie a tutti
