Line 10:
One thousand years ago, the titular crystal was whole. When it cracked on the day of the Great Conjunction of the planet's three suns, it split its [[Precursors|UrSkek]] keepers into the [[Exclusively Evil]] and aggressive Skeksis and the [[Always Lawful Good]] but all too passive Mystics (aka urRu). A few centuries later, the Skeksis discover a prophecy that the elf-like Gelflings will heal the crystal, thus undoing their reign, they sent their [[Elite Mooks|Garthim]] to hunt them down and kill them all. All except for the protagonists Jen and Kira, the [[Last of His Kind|last of their kind]].
Though it didn't do as well on its initial theatrical run, it spawned a cult following large enough to warrant a spin-off Manga prequel, ''Legends of the Dark Crystal'' by [[Tokyo Pop]], a graphic novel prequel trilogy, ''The Dark Crystal: Creation Myths'' by [[Archaia Entertainment]], and a sequel long stuck in [[Development Hell]] titled ''Power of the Dark Crystal''. [[Netflix]] has now confirmed a prequel series due out in 2019, ''Dark Crystal, Age of Resistance''.
