Dark Crystal Trailer (Youtube)

This really does look epic -appears to be going back to the start of the Skeksis reign

Will you be watching?

(ps how do I embed youtube videos now?)

Yes, this looks awesome. As for videos, let me see....

Okay, so here is what you do...

The "Insert video" item in the editor bar is for video files you have locally on a hard drive that you want to upload.

FOr linking to videos on sites like youtube: See that "Media" option? Use that - it allows you to enter a URL.

In terms of BB code, that is

And you can view them in fullscreen mode direct from the forum - that's a bonus.

Okay, so I don’t really remember the plot of The Dark Crystal. How does this relate to it? Is it before, after?

Age of Resistance is set well before the movie, in the age when the Skeksis were attempting to solidify their hold on the world of Thra.

Ah, so we kinda already know what's going to happen? Maybe I should wait to rewatch Dark Crystal until after I've seen this, then.

Only in the generalities - there may be something on the order of a thousand years between them.

Sure, why not? The worst that'll happen is I watch a bit, decide I don't like it, & watch something else instead....

one of the things that intrigues me is how the story will balance the epic heroics with our knowledge that ultimately the protagonist have to fail in order for the events of the Dark Crystal movie to occur.

But yeah, theres a 1000 year time span between the two stories ...
