urSu The Master Biography (Dark Crystal Explained) 

Happy December, my beautiful citizens of Thra! 2020 is finally almost over, so let's celebrate the new, hopefully better year by beginning the Mystic bios! Xmas is coming up very soon as well, so i hope these videos will continue to provide a never ending gift of magic to you all! And if you're interested in getting me something, the best gift we could receive is an ever growing fanbase. So let's see if we can get DFwM into double digits by the end of the year! Let's go ForThra army!! Also, skekDude himself has a very important announcement coming soon, so stay tuned for that! Hope you all are safe and well. Much love and magic to all!

That was deep how Ursu chose not to heal himself because that meant healing Skekso.

His refusal to intervene also, inevitably had unforeseen circumstances also. With the Skeksis gallivanting through Thra and disrupting everything, it seems like the Mystics would absolutely try to minimize their impact. I always wondered why the Mystics did not complete some sort of mass suicide to take out the Skeksis.

I love how you mentioned that not all Mystics shared urSu's dogmatic insistence on non intervention. Even the Mystics were not immune from factionalism.

"You must find the shard... The Crystal shard..."

UrSu was a better leader then his counter part, SkekSo

Every time I learn something new about The Dark Crystal, I feel closer to understanding myself and the world we live in.

As a child I cried when urSo died

When I saw this I clicked faster than the speed of light

I can honestly see both sides. On one hand, the UrRu knew well that they couldn’t harm the Skeksis without harming themselves, so overpowering the Skeksis would be almost impossible for them to achieve. Also, the Great Division was basically irreversible until the next Great Conjunction, assuming the Crystal would be healed by then. Not to mention, the UrRu were simply ashamed that their attempt to purify themselves and return home failed so miserably that it caused centuries of pain and suffering by the hands of their evil halves. 1:06 to 2:36 But on the other hand, doing nothing would bring no good to the UrRu or the planet. It’s good that not all the UrRu stayed in the Valley to just wait, like UrVa and UrGoh. In theory, the UrRu could have overpowered the Skeksis if they invaded the castle with help from Gelfling and Podling warriors. They’d just need to capture the Skeksis without actually killing them, and just keep them alive so they’d reunite with the UrRu when the time finally came. 3:57 , 4:15 , 4:40 and 5:12 Regardless of whether or not he was a coward for keeping himself and the other UrRu away from the affairs of Thra, UrSu was brave. As this video says, UrSu allowing himself to die to take SkekSo with him was a noble act. I have no doubt that all of the UrRu hoped to reunite with their Skeksis counterparts to become the UrSkeks again, but unfortunately only 8 of the 18 pairs reunited as one without dying. And we can only hope that the ten pairs that died are one again, wherever they are now.

I love the Urru so much! Please do more profiles on the rest of them ( I know there’s a little something in other videos, but they’re all so cool and deserve it) 💖

I remember seeing a small comic of a younger Jen and Ursu discussing stuff like the value of life and the impact of good deeds across the world and it was the most precious thing ever! It really is sad to see how much guilt the master had over the deeds of his counterpart I hope he found peace wherever anywhere is.

He’s actually one of favorite characters in the Dark Crystal. He was one of the characters that stuck with me, even though he’s only in the movie briefly.

✨💎HAPPY 38TH ANNIVERSARY THE DARK CRYSTAL MOVIE !!!!💎✨

I'd bet those benches the mystics rest on was invented for the puppeteers who had to stay in those costumes for hours. I know in the first Star Trek movie, the uniforms were so tight, they couldn't sit down and had reclining boards set up where they could lay on them between takes.

Can you do a video about Jen next.

The first thing I remember is the kind one, he picks me and he's big. He makes the monsters disappear and I be safe

Wonderfully done! I enjoyed this!

Thank you for again making my day better. Carry on making amazing videos mate! For Thra!

I love all the lore videos but yes it does suck that it was canceled but let's be honest we never thought anyone would remember this franchise also I'm trying to imagine how much money was spent in making each episode since well all the stuff they did must've costed millions

I was hoping that you would explain the history of the Urur

Great video as always. I just wanted to say I am now starting a collection of the dark crystal books, I now have The World Of The Dark Crystal and The ultimate visual history. Both are amazingly in depth about the history and lore of this one world, offering unique perspective ideas and philosophy.

Thank you for another video.

The Skeksis didn't start out as embodiments of evil... because that's never what they were at their core. They are of the material world and they live passionately. They are driven, ambitious, and hungry for everything life has to offer. They care very deeply about the things that matter to them and are willing to fight to the death for what they want. Desire itself is not evil, but can certainly lead to it. The Mystics are of the spiritual world and as a result they barely live in the physical world at all. They sit in caves meditating, completely oblivious to everything going on around them. Interacting with the world as little as possible. They are kind, wise, and thoughtful yes... but what is all that worth when those traits are never used? The Mystics are so disconnected from life, it's not in their nature to care about or fight for anything. A person is not good because they never take any action. It just makes them neutral. For all their faults, the Skeksis lived. The Mystics exist in a kind of living death.

yay ive been waitng for this for so long great work Dreamfast with me love you videos

Do you think you would ever do a fan series on TDC about what happens after the movie in your own opinion, I wouldn't mind seeing you make a animated series or something. Love your vids man

Also I gotta admit the moment hunter showed up Jesus Christ me and my mom got scared a skeksis that runs jumps and is so badass looking

I want that Ursu will be important in Dark Crystal age of resistence season two

Hey, I just realized that you forgot Skekgra in the Skeksis bios. Still very much want more Mystic bios, but I hope we can also get some love for one our favorite stoner grandpas !

There’s a scene where it looks like one of the mystics flash away or disappear as they journey to the castle. It happens after the skeksis is pushed into the pit where the dark crystal is at. There didn’t seem to be any explanation.

nice intro :)

Ahh, I am back to commenting. I do like the Mystics. I wish I could better understand the rituals they perform. I've read the novelization and holy spit, it's a tough read in some places. I got flashbacks of having to read The Scarlet Letter in high school. Yikes. I gotta lot of gifts for myself this year to cheer myself up, get me through the stress of my last semester for a 4-year degree that had an oddly massive amount of ups and downs to getting there, so I bought a lot of books about Thra and all that resides on it and within it. I'm hoping this'll help me understand the rituals a bit better. OK, now that I've eased myself back into commenting world, strap yourself in for a vent session that has basically nothing to do with Dark Crystal, but I need it. Just don't read the rest of this. Seriously, don't. There are so many other people that have it way worse than I do right now, save your focus and worries for them, please. Just skip this. Don't like it. And if you must read it and comment, well, I can't do anything about it, feel free. I'll try to make it funny, at least. Ok...SO! I made it through my internship, struggled a bit with getting things in but I write relatively well, so the teachers didn't mind. Then, I get the news that my DARS report says I'm 2 credits short. That's less than a class... As you can imagine, I got pissed off. It took me about a span of 13 years to get this freakin' degree because I have issues related to school. I'll be surprised if you haven't stopped reading this by now. For the love of Thra, I hope you have. To continue, I finally get to the end, and I make the tiny but critical mistake of miscounting my credits, so now I have to sign up for one more class, dole out an extra 1.5K and wait another 4 months probably just to be told commencement will be delayed again because we can't seem to pull it together on that vaccine campaign. I delayed signing up until nearly the last minute because I was too busy going over the report over and over, because I was absolutely certain that I had planned out the number of credits needed to avoid an extra semester exactly, to the credit, back before the world took a cue from skekGra and urGoh because the darkening is upon us. Turns out, my obsession for being right was for good reason. I discovered a mistake in the transcripts. The class that has remained my favorite to this day (tied with creative writing class) in which I will brag I did receive 100% in, was marked as not being counted. I knew it! I wasn't wrong! So, I email records and ask WTF? Records say, it's not a mistake. The class had apparently changed its name recently, and I mistakenly took it during the Summer, thinking it was a new class I hadn't done before. At first, the records person was very apologetic. Sorry she couldn't do anything. She was very kind. Many hours of lamenting and frustration later, she sends me another email, saying she might be able to do something, depending on the circumstances of how I took the class. It came down to whether I was told to do it by my advisor, or if I had gone ahead and done it without consultation. I had done exactly the latter, and leaped before thinking, choosing the class myself and patting my own back that I had done it without any help. Pro tip- always ask for help. I thought that I had officially lost the battle and signed up for the class a couple weeks before my discovery of the non-mistake. I began to accept my fate because it was my own mistake for not having asked an expert. I fully expected to be told that no, I could not avoid taking this class. This is one of the few times I've liked being wrong. I get an email back after an excruciating weekend of waiting for the start of the next business day, to be told, to my great joy, that because I did not know about the name change, they would accept the class as my final credit! I DID IT! WHOO! Now all that's left is to celebrate, start planning the party you'll have with your classmates once the world stabilizes a bit, and prepare to navigate Grad school...yay. Oh, that felt good. Good vent. Good video, too. I'm not exactly aligned with some of the decisions urSu, which is one of the reasons I've failed to research them yet. I'm more of a Gelfling fan, I'd say. The point being to expect shorter comments, sorry. I promise, no more rants for a while that don't have to do with DC. Danny, you can even delete this comment if you want and I won't care at all, unless it counts as a strike against me in RU-vid law, or something. Then don't. I'll live with the relieving feeling that I got a lot of stress out and possibly wrote a decent standup comedy sketch. Been watching a lot of it, and I think it may be affecting me just a bit. Well, I think I'm going to end it here. Thanks for not reading. Bye.

Yeeeeeeesssss

I wonder will they make the dark crystal book into movie that will be cool

What if all the Uhru and Skeksis made it to the crystal for the great conjunction
