Finally, 30 yrs later, the story of the Dark Crystal is revisited in a rich, compelling story that transports us to the tumultuous period where the Skeksis show their profound depravity and predate upon their cowed subjects on Thra in their selfish quest for immortality at all cost! In this prequel series, the history behind The Dark Crystal is explored, expanded and explained, new heroes rise up, and all the spectacle and wonder that made the original film a classic are present and perhaps even surpassed. Join the rebellion against the wretched Skeksis and their misguided minions in this enchanting tale! If there's any fault to find, it's inherent in all prequels-you know, ultimately, where the story is headed if you're familiar with the original. That said, this is an extraordinary 10 episode series that screams out for more! Garthim Wars next, anyone?.

Continuity mistake: When Rian and Mira are on the Spy glass, he understands she just invited him to Dreamfast. When she answers "Yes! I mean...if you wanted to?" his hair is suddenly all the way behind the sword's handle, when it wasn't in the shot before. (00:09:45)
Trivia: A sequel to the original film, titled "The Power of the Dark Crystal," was initially planned. However, the film spent many years in development hell with several different writers and directors being attached at different points. Eventually, French director Louis Letterier became attached to the project around 2012, and it was subsequently retooled into this prequel series for Netflix. "The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance" was finally released in the Summer of 2019 - almost 37 years after the original debuted in Winter, 1982.
