A [[The Eighties|1982]] science fiction/fantasy film directed by [[Jim Henson]] and Frank Oz with creature design by fantasy artist [[Brian Froud]].

* [[Adam and Eve Plot]]: Never directly addressed, but since Jen and Kira are the [[Last of His Kind|Last Of Their Kind]], it's pretty obvious.
* [[Age Without Youth]]: Applies to both the Mystics and Skeksis (though they're not technically immortal), but the Skeksis suffer a bit more from it, especially when you [[All There in the Manual|learn]] that they weren't originally evil, but rather represented the passionate, hedonistic side of the Urskek, and were rather pleasant to party with. Then they aged, for a thousand years.
