I've heard the excuse that it's called Dark Crystal: Creation "Myths" so of course facts won't line up. To me, this seems like an Easy Button for the writers. They're being lazy: If the story we just wrote is contradictory or doesn't make sense -- chalk it up to it being an in-universe myth...

I feel that she hates the Skeksis too now. When they first divided, WotDC said that Aughra still cooperated with the Skeksis in scientific studies. Aughra even worked with skekTek on a number of things, it says. Maybe she was burned, or turned from them when they started murdering Gelflings...

From the tidbits of information they've released so far, I'm thinking that they're planning on darkcrystal.com to have more author resource articles. More documents about the Gelfing clans, the Skeksis, the Gelfling Gathering era. I think they've gone about this all wrong. They kind of jumped...

I'm hoping that the only reason that they haven't come out and said WotDC is canon is because it's pretty obvious that it is. It's a given. It was released in the 80s -- same as the movie, right? If anything's canon, it's that WotDC.

Anyway, sorry I got off topic. To answer your question: it appears Creation Myths and TOKYOPOP's Legends of the Dark Crystal are both considered DC canon. (Dang.) No word on World of the Dark Crystal being considered canon, though. I always assumed it was...

Ugh. Raunip. The Jar Jar Binks of Dark Crystal. I kid, he isn't that bad... I just don't like him at all. In the novelization of the DC (and in the movie, I think?) Aughra says that she saw the last Great Conjunction alone. (I know that in order to make the Creation Myths story interesting ...

True... Maybe we have to sit and wait patiently for darkcrystal.com to launch, Zeppoandfriends. :/ I still have lots of questions. I've halted anymore outlining until I have more information. I probably won't even begin writing until October 1st. I just want to make sure I go about this...

It says that in the next few weeks darkcrystal.com should be up and running. I hope that when the online forum/encyclopedia opens up we'll get some more info, plus we can discuss things on the forum. This sounds incredible. Like Rob Valois said: this is just the beginning of something very...

New info posted @ DarkCrystal.com! http://darkcrystal.com/pdfs/DarkCrystalAuthorQuest_FAQ.pdf *A legion of urSkek angels emerges from the Crystal singing "Hallelujah!"* I can't tell you guys how exciting this is! Heck frickin' yes.

I think the picture is official. Ambience Entertainment/Omnilab, who were former sponsors for the PotDC, are cited as the people who posted the picture. If it indeed is official, I hope it will be released to the public soon. I have never seen it anywhere else.

I looked up Boom! Studios. They make Adventure Time and other spiffy franchises. I'm pretty optimistic! *crosses fingers*

I think I expressed myself wrong. I apologize. I, too, love how the DC story is realistic and uncomplicated. In my earlier post, when I referenced Star Wars/Trek, I was explaining my theory as to why there isn't a lot of expanded materials in the Dark Crystal universe. I want to be clear: I...

I may be totally wrong, but my think the reason that Dark Crystal doesn't have a huge expanded universe (like Star Wars/Trek does) is because when the original film was released it was considered a flop. Even today, whenever I bring up Dark Crystal to friends and family, the typical response...

That's awesome, I'm glad I helped someone. :D

I kind of wish that the Skeksis designs in Creation Myths didn't all look like the skekSil when his robes were stripped. There is 1,000 years between the two stories. I wanted to see the Skeksis and urRu just a bit meatier and stronger, I guess. Thanks for your comments, cookietribe. I love...

I will try to find a better resolution. I wish I knew where the picture came from...

You raise such really good questions, cookietribe. I’m glad you bring up the urSkek home world. I’m very curious about their planet and culture as well. I really feel that this novel contest could really explore universe of the Dark Crystal in many different ways. I totally understand that...

For everyone out there writing a novel -- looking at you, Zeppo -- I don't know if this picture has been circulated around, a lot. But I've never seen it before. Isn't it gorgeous? Obviously a Skeksis and Mystic from ancient times. I love it, I love it, I love it! This picture is pure...

Ethan Gilsdorf's new post has not been posted yet. I will post on this thread the moment I see an update, though. Unfortunately there is no ETA. I'm really looking forward to this Henson interview.

I'm hoping Henson Co. will ditch Power of the Dark Crystal and start fresh -- greenlighting a prequel movie. It really would be campy to have a sequel where the urSkeks come to Thra again just to check how things are going. "Hey guys, just stopping by to see how the Crystal of Truth is..."...
