Line 81:
* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: If a Skeksis dies, a corresponding mystic dies, and vice versa.
* [[Novelization]]:
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: The banquet scene was two minutes showcasing the Skeksis' atrocious table manners. Whether this was done for humor or to unnerve the viewers (or both) is hard to say.
* [[Positive Discrimination]]: The female protagonist gets big pretty butterfly wings and superpowers. The male protagonist gets... um... to hook up with the female protagonist?
* [[Power Crystal]]: The Dark Crystal.
Line 94 ⟶ 95:
* [[Staff of Authority]] - The Skesis emperor carries a scepter which designates his office. In the death scene of the first emperor, Chamberlain indicates his eagerness to take over by reaching for the scepter.
* [[Starring Special Effects]]
* [[Stupid Good]]: Jen's adoptive father even admits he shouldn't have waited until he was on his deathbed to explain what to Jen what his quest is, and this lack of foresight requires Jen to [[Figure It Out Yourself|figure the whole thing out himself]], something he clearly ''could not'' have done without Kira's help.
* [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]]s: The novelization claims the UrSheks are this.
* [[Synchronization]]: Between the urRu and the Skeksis
* [[There Is Another]]: Jen believed he was the last surviving Gelfling until he ran into Kira (and vice versa).
