skekVar The General Biography (Dark Crystal Explained) 

Well, we did it my friends!! This past weekend Age of Resistance was trending on Netflix again, and it was all thanks to this amazing community! Never stop showing them what you're made of. Please help us keep spreading the word about this truly groundbreaking show, and our wonderful community of followers and content creators. Remember, simple likes and shares really go a long way for achieving that goal. And most important: Stay safe, stay well, and what ever you do, do not touch the Darkening! For Thra.

Cause of death: You. Took. My. Seat.

To be fair, he did seem to try to control his anger in front of the All Maudra when she kept going “NO MORE!” He didn’t do such right away, and you can hear him struggle with his patience and his rage as it began to consume him. Of course, he still failed with controlling his temper and ended up killing her anyway.

SkekVar was only ever weak if either had been deprived or drained of essence as it allowed to catch up with him. He almost killed Rien in their duel, but his underestimation of his opponent led to his downfall. I like the idea that he was physically dangerous but still cowardly, only getting into fights he believes he can win. He used troops and savagery to give himself advantage. It gives contrast to SkekMal the hunter who hungered for the challenge of combat, proving his own strength while stealing others'.

General: Watch Dreamfast with Me. Me: I didn't know Thra had the internet.

The scene in the original movie where skekUng is plotting with skekNa and skekTek perfectly illustrates the superiority of the Garthim Master over his predecessor. SkekVar was too much of a bigoted bully to associate with Skeksis with physical impairments, even if their superior intellect could have helped him.

Grumbling, waddling, snorting warlord...not far from most politicians today.

I freakin love SkekVar. He's so interesting and power hungry. It was also very interesting to find out that he was once the Ambassador. I never knew that. Keep up the good work!

If SkekVar and SkekMal had gotten together, they’d have been unstoppable.

SkekVar definetly doesn't deserved the *Betrayal* he has received - he, at the very least; was actually an admirable General and war commisionner

And most importantly of all, he is NOT SKEKUNG. LOL Anyway, great video!

He was one of my favorite characters.

It’s interesting how SkekVar always called the other Skekses weak when he him self was the weakest of them all.

Ever notice that SkekVar resembles a boar? Significant, since the wild boar was a holy animal for both Greek and Norse war gods, due to their strength and explosive, violent aggression. The Greek war god Ares even took the form of a wild boar in order to kill his rival Adonis over the affections of Aphrodite.

Seat theft is not a joke, SkekVar.

I love the bios of the skeksis I learned so much

SkekVar was really cool in Creation Myths. His look, actions, and personality. Urma The Peacemaker was awesome as well. Defying UrSu’s Policy to do what was right to him. Shame they are both dead.

Had a shit day at work so happy i can come home to this channel notification

Ah yes the Hog of a general 💖

6:58 Tell me why SkekVar is your favorite Skeksis? I liked the character because he has quite a character, also, he is cool and informative.

Am i the only one who truly felt bad for the general I mean it was clear he was a trustful ally for the chamberlain And they vota look cute together as friends

When I think of SkekVar I think of, Purple.

1:54 Love that "ad"

I hope they touch on the effects of their Uru counterparts' death as a result of the General and the Collector being killed in the battle

Can you do a video on what happened to the grewnacks pls

Love this one, he’s one of my favorites!

That's enough from you weakling! -SkekVar

Would it be interesting if there ends up being a spinoff series that focused on the UrRu? It could specifically show what UrSen and UrMa were doing when SkekLach and SkekVar were killed during the battle at Stone-In-The-Wood.

I almost forgot about him in Age of Resistance. Yet another fascinating Skeksis and unfortunately, we'll never get the chance to meet his UrRu counterpart. 😞

What a good series,such a shame it is no longer,great video 🤘

Whenever a new video of yours gets uploaded I have to watch it right away! One of the parts of my day! Please keep it up!!! AMAZING!!!!

I love SkekVar. He’s a brutal and blood thirsty general, which is very fitting for a Skeksis. 4:38 , 5:15 , 5:26 and 5:50 It’s so sad that UrMa was never shown on the show or anywhere really. The whole AOR show was an absolute masterpiece. Other than it being cancelled of course, my only complaint about the show as a whole is that both UrMa (SkekVar’s counterpart) and UrSen the Monk (SkekLach’s counterpart) die completely off screen when their dark halves are killed. We can only hope that we can eventually see more Dark Crystal content on the screen. At this point, I couldn’t care less if it’s animated or live action. I just want more Dark Crystal.

Thanks for doing this! I love SkekVar!

Poor skekvar may you rest in the great white void 😟😟

In my opinion, SkekUng was far more intimidating than SkekVar. And a better General too.

Excelente!

Please do skekShod! He's my favourite looking Skeksis!

My second most favourite Skeksis

was he really a coward? He threw the chamberlain across the room like tennis ball and was the eager to fight Rian 1v1!

Can you do SkekGra's bio plz?

Anyone else think of Fozzie Bear when they see the General and can't figure out why?

skekVar died because skekSil killed him (skekVar fell into his trap. He stole skekSil's place) also skekVar gave me an idea as a character from my own remake for a game that I plan to do is from (toys for bob. sega and nintendo) And I don't want it to be a failure if they tell me something they don't judge me, my ideas are good

Why do skeksis look like birds but the urru look like ant eaters

1:20 wow you mean there is a subterranean race of creatures that could attack Thra at any time? This is like Game of Thrones territory now. Love discovering all these new elements of Dark Crystal

I love skekvar he is my favourite skeksis

So, the skeksis and the Uru series are awesome, as well as the gelfing clan description videos, but I figure that eventually you'll do a whole series about all the individual gelflings, not just the clans. I was wondering when that might happen. Also, does anyone have predictions about season 2? I'm hoping Tavra might not actually be dead, and that some episodes focus on what happens in the J.M. Lee novels. I know canon is weird between the movie, novels, etc. but a lot of cool stuff happens in the books, and I'd hate to see those great adventures swept under the rug. Because honestly, I don't think Naia, Kylan, Onica or Gurjin were included enough. Then again, I always like the side characters best in every series I watch, and DC: AoR is no different. If any of this is considered spoiler territory, I apologize. I did my best to avoid spoiling the books, so I don't mind if you have to remove this comment. I'd still like an answer as to when you might do a gelfing character series though. Love the channel! DK

I kinda feel like the general and the collector should of been alive for the finale anyone else agree? Also which skeksis is next week?

Strength rules the universe. Not cleverness. Not political influence. Merely strength.

Do the Uru actually do anything of value on Thra? The Skeksis build armies, and crush the whole planet under their feet, but the Uru seem content to just give occasional pep-talks to the Gelflings. The Archer is the only one we actually see being truly proactive... by killing himself. The Uru are supposed to be the opposite number of the Skeksis, but they never seem to be in any real conflict with them. The Gelflings always have to do everything.

His only good idea was to run away and live.

What did we learn from skekVar The General? The blue moths are way more yummy then the yellow ones.

Sabe eu acho que o skekvar e o skekna eram os únicos skeksis que nunca se virão presos a máscaras

SkekVar's snorts is my favorite thing about him

I love Skevar in Fact I'm Making full size Costume of him :)

VarMa the Sheriff.

To bad chamberlain did not let general live he could have helped him become emperor

Hmmmm.....which was the General in the Dark Crystal movie? Was he a separate Skeksis?

Skekvar always called others weakling's but in reality he was the true weakling, that's how I always viewed skekvar, skekung was a better general them him lol

Season two is the movie

First to like and comment hell yeah

He killed characters I like, so when he died I felt for him, because of him being betrayed, but I still felt like he deserves it as das every skeksis

Puny gelfing should have known they have no honor

First.

Skekvar in my opinion is weaker than skekung

I never really liked or was interested in skekvar

If SkekVar and SkekMal had gotten together, they’d have been unstoppable.
