Unfortunately, it's only going to get much harder for the Gelfling in the years between now and The Dark Crystal film, and the final scene of Age of Resistance offers up one big reason why - the Garthim. In The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance ending, the Gelfling appear well on their way to saving Thra and defeating the Skeksis. The reveal that the Crystal Shard is the gem in the hilt of the Dual Glaive is hugely important, as anyone who's seen The Dark Crystal will attest. The loss of this shard when the Crystal of Truth was cracked in the aftermath of the split between Skeksis and urRu is why it darkened and became The Dark Crystal. Returning the shard will not only heal the Crystal, it will also reunite the Skeksis and urRu together in their urSkek forms. Now that the Gelfling possess the Crystal Shard, they are finally a real threat to the Skeksis' power. As foretold to them by The Heretic and urGoh, the creators of the Dual Glaive, this sword holds the power to unite the Gelfling and defeat the Skeksis because it " carries the spirit of Thra." The battle at Stone-in-the-Wood proves this to be true, but it's not just because the Dual Glaive is some special sword that can communicate via the fires of Thra or suck the stolen essence out of Skeksis - it's because the Dual Glaive holds the Crystal Shard! But more importantly, this battle marks the moment when the seven Gelfling clans are united as one thanks to the Dual Glaive. This detail, though, does and will continue to factor in to Age of Resistance's story. During the final battle, the Archer kills himself, and his other half, the Hunter, up and dies at the very same time, only further emphasizing the link between the two species. And we can only assume that with the deaths of both the General and the Collector, there must also be two corresponding Mystics who die.Ī new age dawns in Thra at the end of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, born from the battle at Stone-in-the-Wood where the Gelfling send the Skeksis scrambling back to their castle. The other Skeksis, however, don't appear at all interested in being reunited seeing as professing such a desire is why they banished The Heretic in the first place. Since having learned the truth themselves, all The Heretic and urGoh wish for is to be reunited - and perhaps in their deaths, which interestingly aren't really explained, they are reunited. It's a reveal The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance holds until this moment, but one that anyone who's seen the original Dark Crystal has been anxiously awaiting. The odd couple perform for them a puppet show (" that most ancient and sacred of arts") that reveals a startling truth: every gentle urRu (Mystics) and cruel Skeksis are one half of another whole being, the urSkeks. Upon reaching the Circle of the Suns, Rian, Deet, and Brea (as well as their Podling friend, Hup) meet a most strange pair - a Skeksis known simply as The Heretic, and an urRu called urGoh the Wanderer. Here's what the ending of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance season 1 means for the future of the series and how it can connect with The Dark Crystal. Still, the Age of Resistance season 1 ending isn't totally without hope. And not just for the Gelfling, but for all of Thra. The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance season 1 ends with the Gelfling winning a battle against the Skeksis, but sadly, this victory only marks the beginning of what will be a very long and troubling time.

They struggle to convince their fellow Gelfling of the atrocities taking place, eventually needing to travel to a sacred site, the Circle of the Suns, in order to learn the truth about the Skeksis, their world, Thra, and the Dark Crystal. In The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, three Gelfling - Rian (Taron Egerton), Deet (Nathalia Emmanuel), and Brea (Anya Taylor-Joy) - discover that the ruling lords of Thra, the Skeksis, are draining the Gelfling of their essence in order to prolong their own lives.
