Well, we did it my friends!! This past weekend Age of Resistance was trending on Netflix again, and it was all thanks to this amazing community! Never stop showing them what you're made of. Please help us keep spreading the word about this truly groundbreaking show, and our wonderful community of followers and content creators. Remember, simple likes and shares really go a long way for achieving that goal. And most important: Stay safe, stay well, and what ever you do, do not touch the Darkening! For Thra.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me
To be fair, he did seem to try to control his anger in front of the All Maudra when she kept going “NO MORE!” He didn’t do such right away, and you can hear him struggle with his patience and his rage as it began to consume him. Of course, he still failed with controlling his temper and ended up killing her anyway.
I love SkekVar. He’s a brutal and blood thirsty general, which is very fitting for a Skeksis. 4:38 , 5:15 , 5:26 and 5:50 It’s so sad that UrMa was never shown on the show or anywhere really. The whole AOR show was an absolute masterpiece. Other than it being cancelled of course, my only complaint about the show as a whole is that both UrMa (SkekVar’s counterpart) and UrSen the Monk (SkekLach’s counterpart) die completely off screen when their dark halves are killed. We can only hope that we can eventually see more Dark Crystal content on the screen. At this point, I couldn’t care less if it’s animated or live action. I just want more Dark Crystal.
SkekVar was only ever weak if either had been deprived or drained of essence as it allowed to catch up with him. He almost killed Rien in their duel, but his underestimation of his opponent led to his downfall. I like the idea that he was physically dangerous but still cowardly, only getting into fights he believes he can win. He used troops and savagery to give himself advantage. It gives contrast to SkekMal the hunter who hungered for the challenge of combat, proving his own strength while stealing others'.
I freakin love SkekVar. He's so interesting and power hungry. It was also very interesting to find out that he was once the Ambassador. I never knew that. Keep up the good work!
The scene in the original movie where skekUng is plotting with skekNa and skekTek perfectly illustrates the superiority of the Garthim Master over his predecessor. SkekVar was too much of a bigoted bully to associate with Skeksis with physical impairments, even if their superior intellect could have helped him.
That's something I want to see in season 2. Not only are the stakes being raised because we have Garthim coming, we also have a competent military commander, whom I am convinced was absent from the castle in season 1 because he was making everyone look bad by comparison. SkekUng is the Nicholas Angel of the skeksis.
One might even say that Jim Henson’s work on The Dark Crystal resembles our own world. Almost like the politicians we have in America were the inspiration for the skeksis. Hint, look up adrenochrome and tell me that’s not what essence is.
Mine too. I only wish we could’ve seen his counterpart UrMa even briefly, and saw him die as SkekVar did. And the same with UrSen when SkekLach was killed just minutes later.
Ever notice that SkekVar resembles a boar? Significant, since the wild boar was a holy animal for both Greek and Norse war gods, due to their strength and explosive, violent aggression. The Greek war god Ares even took the form of a wild boar in order to kill his rival Adonis over the affections of Aphrodite.
SkekVar was really cool in Creation Myths. His look, actions, and personality. Urma The Peacemaker was awesome as well. Defying UrSu’s Policy to do what was right to him. Shame they are both dead.
Am i the only one who truly felt bad for the general I mean it was clear he was a trustful ally for the chamberlain And they vota look cute together as friends
Would it be interesting if there ends up being a spinoff series that focused on the UrRu? It could specifically show what UrSen and UrMa were doing when SkekLach and SkekVar were killed during the battle at Stone-In-The-Wood.
I think it would be, if it was done right. Maybe not as a spin-off series, because of the general slow nature of the Uru. I think people might get annoyed by the slow movements and speech patterns some of the Uru have. But maybe as a two-part miniseries or flashback episodes in season two. I'm interested in what the Uru are up to during all the crazy events involving the skeksis as well.
DKscribe88 those are good ideas for it to also be a two-part miniseries or a series of flashbacks in Season 2 of Age of Resistance. It is possible, but I wouldn’t say people might get annoyed by the UrRu yet because it really depends on what the plot and climax will be. UrGoh the Wanderer was the one who was truly slow with his speech and movement in Age of Resistance. When the fallen Urskeks became UrRu, they were able to move without staffs. Who is to say the spinoff/miniseries/flashback won’t take place during that time period?
Yes! They really should do a video on that. I’m sure we can all picture what happened to UrMa and UrSen when their Counterparts were killed onscreen, but it would still be nice to know more about them, as well as what happened to them when they perished.
I almost forgot about him in Age of Resistance. Yet another fascinating Skeksis and unfortunately, we'll never get the chance to meet his UrRu counterpart. 😞
Hmmm a good deal more intimidating for sure but skekung had his sillier moments too to be fair. We know of skekungs sucess in the garthim wars but skekvar managed to win the arathim wars. I think skekungs the better general in the end but I wouldn’t down play skekvar too much either.
skekVar died because skekSil killed him (skekVar fell into his trap. He stole skekSil's place) also skekVar gave me an idea as a character from my own remake for a game that I plan to do is from (toys for bob. sega and nintendo) And I don't want it to be a failure if they tell me something they don't judge me, my ideas are good
Well the skeksis look like anthropomorphic dragons with beaks while the urru look more like anthropomorphic sauropods with ears and hair of dogs. After all these two beings are reptilian race, even sometimes most reptiles have beak shape snouts.
Yes!!! It’s because of the way SkekVar’s mouth moves. It vaguely resembles the way Fossie the bear’s mouth moves, although they of course looked nothing alike.
1:20 wow you mean there is a subterranean race of creatures that could attack Thra at any time? This is like Game of Thrones territory now. Love discovering all these new elements of Dark Crystal
So, the skeksis and the Uru series are awesome, as well as the gelfing clan description videos, but I figure that eventually you'll do a whole series about all the individual gelflings, not just the clans. I was wondering when that might happen. Also, does anyone have predictions about season 2? I'm hoping Tavra might not actually be dead, and that some episodes focus on what happens in the J.M. Lee novels. I know canon is weird between the movie, novels, etc. but a lot of cool stuff happens in the books, and I'd hate to see those great adventures swept under the rug. Because honestly, I don't think Naia, Kylan, Onica or Gurjin were included enough. Then again, I always like the side characters best in every series I watch, and DC: AoR is no different. If any of this is considered spoiler territory, I apologize. I did my best to avoid spoiling the books, so I don't mind if you have to remove this comment. I'd still like an answer as to when you might do a gelfing character series though. Love the channel! DK
Yes. The General in the movie was SkekUng the Garthem Master. But like SkekVar, SkekUng was the exact opposite of his counterpart UrIm the Healer. SkekVar’s counterpart was UrMa the Peacemaker, and although almost nothing is known about UrMa, it’s very fitting that he and SkekVar couldn’t be more opposite, one being a peacemaker and the other an army General.
Skekvar always called others weakling's but in reality he was the true weakling, that's how I always viewed skekvar, skekung was a better general them him lol
Vinny Carothers Agreed. I was looking through SkekUngs wiki page a few days ago, and found something that gave me a clue they did not get along at all when it comes to the mistreatment of the weaker Skesis, which strangely SkekUng did not approve of. Also, I’m pretty sure SkekVar might have played a part as why the Gartham Master was absent. Despite both of the on the same level of ruthlessness, it’s easy to see SkekUng is a lot more think before act then his predecessor. So yeah, no doubt he and the other MIA Skesis are happy that he’s gone.
Do the Uru actually do anything of value on Thra? The Skeksis build armies, and crush the whole planet under their feet, but the Uru seem content to just give occasional pep-talks to the Gelflings. The Archer is the only one we actually see being truly proactive... by killing himself. The Uru are supposed to be the opposite number of the Skeksis, but they never seem to be in any real conflict with them. The Gelflings always have to do everything.
Yes, every Skeksis deserves to die, but since you cannot kill the Skeksis without killing the UrRu, I’m glad they didn’t all die. There were 18 UrRu/Skeksis pairs when they were first divided, and unfortunately only 8 were reunited as UrSkeks.
You’re right. SkekVar was almost as big as SkekAyuk the Gourmand, while SkekUng is skinny and strong. SkekUng was in my opinion the strongest Skeksis, after of course SkekMal the Hunter.
@@jordanelza8806 Skekung is actually the physically strongest of all the skeksis. The hunter may be faster and more cunning, but Skekung’s raw strength is unmatched.
@@callumhaigh8233 Um, no. Skekung isn’t as fast or cunning as Skekmal, but he’s the physically strongest of all the skeksis, which is why he completely destroyed the stone during his duel with skeksil. And he was already past his prime at that point. It would be a heck of a fight no matter who came out on top, but it wouldn’t be an easy win for either of them. It’s honestly a 50/50 for me.
Or in a spin off have SkekVar train under SkekMal after SkekVar becomes curious as to how he survives without the Crystal and wants to become stronger than ever before and comes to understand why Mal left the castle. So yeah, an utter unit of a Skekies learning the tricks of the most feared.

Love my comment on your third biggest fan#thegeneral
Did they really cancel the show?
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me
Cause of death: You. Took. My. Seat.
A.k.a the Chamberlain.
Sterling Archer or skeksil
I think that is more of the reason of death the cause would be stabbed by the chamberlain
@@Foxy-oe2lh that too.
YES

Basically Skekmal was Grevious at his best and Skekvar was Grevious at his most cowardly XD

@@JessicaRainey970 who the hell is Nicholas Angel?
SkekVar did have an alliance with SkekSa and another SkekSis, but it was in the Manga which is not connected to Age Of Resistance
Grumbling, waddling, snorting warlord...not far from most politicians today.
One might even say that Jim Henson’s work on The Dark Crystal resembles our own world. Almost like the politicians we have in America were the inspiration for the skeksis. Hint, look up adrenochrome and tell me that’s not what essence is.
And the darkening represents the pollution of the planet
General: Watch Dreamfast with Me.
Me: I didn't know Thra had the internet.
Sure it does: Cry-Fi.
Not to mention Blue truth ( Crystal of Truth, Blue Tooth) with the crystal bats
Sound ground (because well thra)
SkekVar definetly doesn't deserved the *Betrayal* he has received - he, at the very least; was actually an admirable General and war commisionner
Admirable would not be a word I would use, although he does have some depth-ness
Him not deserving it is what makes it a betrayal in the first place
@@devincrenshaw4865 he did deserved execution, for the grunaks extermination; but not in this way, which makes the scene even more awesome
@@thedoruk6324 Well yea they're all evil. They've all done terrible things in the past.
The key bit is revenge though
He was one of my favorite characters.
F
He is my favorite
Mine too. I only wish we could’ve seen his counterpart UrMa even briefly, and saw him die as SkekVar did. And the same with UrSen when SkekLach was killed just minutes later.
Same here
And most importantly of all, he is NOT SKEKUNG. LOL
Anyway, great video!
Ever notice that SkekVar resembles a boar?
Significant, since the wild boar was a holy animal for both Greek and Norse war gods, due to their strength and explosive, violent aggression. The Greek war god Ares even took the form of a wild boar in order to kill his rival Adonis over the affections of Aphrodite.
A hog of a general if you will
Another interesting fact is that "var" or "varken" apparently means pig in Dutch!
@@whimpering_worm then theres even all those agressive boar like snorts Skekvar does throughout the show
@@GreaterGrievobeast55
Yep! And his "hisses" sound like noises from a demonic hog!
SkekVar was really cool in Creation Myths. His look, actions, and personality. Urma The Peacemaker was awesome as well. Defying UrSu’s Policy to do what was right to him. Shame they are both dead.
It’s interesting how SkekVar always called the other Skekses weak when he him self was the weakest of them all.
Physically or mentally? He was only weak because Chamberlain swapped out the essence in SkekVar's bottle with glowing milk and water.
Mentally weak, probably. Physically weak, no
Am i the only one who truly felt bad for the general
I mean it was clear he was a trustful ally for the chamberlain
And they vota look cute together as friends
6:58 Tell me why SkekVar is your favorite Skeksis?
I liked the character because he has quite a character, also, he is cool and informative.
If SkekVar and SkekMal had gotten together, they’d have been unstoppable.
Had a shit day at work so happy i can come home to this channel notification
I love the bios of the skeksis I learned so much
That's enough from you weakling! -SkekVar
Only to be killed by a weakling like SkekSil as well as stabbed by two Gelfling. What's more ironic he too was weak in mind and spirit
*SkekTec breaks his wrist*
"Looks like your the weakling."
Seat theft is not a joke, SkekVar.
Would it be interesting if there ends up being a spinoff series that focused on the UrRu? It could specifically show what UrSen and UrMa were doing when SkekLach and SkekVar were killed during the battle at Stone-In-The-Wood.

Love this one, he’s one of my favorites!
Whenever a new video of yours gets uploaded I have to watch it right away! One of the parts of my day! Please keep it up!!! AMAZING!!!!
I hope they touch on the effects of their Uru counterparts' death as a result of the General and the Collector being killed in the battle
When I think of SkekVar I think of, Purple.
1:54 Love that "ad"
What a good series,such a shame it is no longer,great video 🤘
Can you do a video on what happened to the grewnacks pls
Thanks for doing this! I love SkekVar!
I almost forgot about him in Age of Resistance. Yet another fascinating Skeksis and unfortunately, we'll never get the chance to meet his UrRu counterpart. 😞
Please do skekShod!
He's my favourite looking Skeksis!
What did we learn from skekVar The General? The blue moths are way more yummy then the yellow ones.
Ah yes the Hog of a general 💖
In my opinion, SkekUng was far more intimidating than SkekVar. And a better General too.
Funny though, how they both equally despised the Chamberlain!😄
Hmmm a good deal more intimidating for sure but skekung had his sillier moments too to be fair. We know of skekungs sucess in the garthim wars but skekvar managed to win the arathim wars. I think skekungs the better general in the end but I wouldn’t down play skekvar too much either.
My second most favourite Skeksis
Can you do SkekGra's bio plz?
Poor skekvar may you rest in the great white void 😟😟
skekVar died because skekSil killed him (skekVar fell into his trap. He stole skekSil's place) also skekVar gave me an idea as a character from my own remake for a game that I plan to do is from (toys for bob. sega and nintendo) And I don't want it to be a failure

Excelente!
Why do skeksis look like birds but the urru look like ant eaters
Anteaters on two legs.
Lol
I imagine the Skeksis are supposed to look Sharp and intimidating, wale the Urru are supposed to look soft and peaceful.
Well the skeksis look like anthropomorphic dragons with beaks while the urru look more like anthropomorphic sauropods with ears and hair of dogs. After all these two beings are reptilian race, even sometimes most reptiles have beak shape snouts.
Anyone else think of Fozzie Bear when they see the General and can't figure out why?
Yes!!! It’s because of the way SkekVar’s mouth moves. It vaguely resembles the way Fossie the bear’s mouth moves, although they of course looked nothing alike.

SkekVar's snorts is my favorite thing about him
Karai Akauma SkekVar snorts, SkekSil whimpers.
I kinda feel like the general and the collector should of been alive for the finale anyone else agree? Also which skeksis is next week?
Maybe the Collector.
Strength rules the universe. Not cleverness. Not political influence. Merely strength.
I love skekvar he is my favourite skeksis
Hmmmm.....which was the General in the Dark Crystal movie? Was he a separate Skeksis?

Skekvar was nothing but a bully. Skekung showed true leadership when he encouraged the talents of skektek and skekna, despite their disabilities
That's kinda true.

Unrestrained Ambition vs. Unambitious Restraint
VarMa the Sheriff.
To bad chamberlain did not let general live he could have helped him become emperor
I love Skevar in Fact I'm Making full size Costume of him :)
Sabe eu acho que o skekvar e o skekna eram os únicos skeksis que nunca se virão presos a máscaras
Puny gelfing should have known they have no honor
He killed characters I like, so when he died I felt for him, because of him being betrayed, but I still felt like he deserves it as das every skeksis

Season two is the movie
I never really liked or was interested in skekvar
