    Wait. In the novels, the Skeksis had a satirist??
    I don't know why but I find that hilarious. Considering how, well, EVIL the Skeksis are, he must have come up with some really insulting, non-PC satire. Maybe he drew unflattering, comical pictures of other Skeksis, like the Emperor as a whiny baby or the Gourmand as extraordinarily obese. I can't imagine that would have gone over well with the others :p

    Yeah, the emperor sounds a bit more deeper and threatening than that original slimy voice.

    That's part of the lore.

    From World of the Dark Crystal - "On all the days of feasting the Emperor led the processions and the dances of life and pleasure; his voice was heard above a multitude; and always in the tournaments he bore down all rivals"

    The loss of his voice would not come until the ravages of old age.

    Series is not out yet, but I'm starting to like this emperor more than the one from the movie.

    I think the emperor and the chamberlain's relationship should be similar to Megatron and starscream's. You know what I mean.

    I think that voice is likely the Scientist.

    OOPS! Forgot to share these yesterday. Since we're 10 days to go till the debut of TDC AoR, the Jim Henson Co and Netflix are in full campaign mode for the show. Not only releasing the Returning to Thra video, but announcing new tie Comics by Archaia (same that created the 3 volume DC Creation Myth series) as well a new TV spot.

    To TV spot. Watch The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance TV Spot Right Now!

    Seeing all this cool previews is making me glad the original movie is on Netflix so we can prepare for the series as we watch the original first.
