Genndy Tartakovsky, who created and directed "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", "Samurai Jack" and "Dexter’s Laboratory", was tapped to direct Power of the Dark Crystal in February 2006

That's not good. :uhoh

Plot

"Power of the Dark Crystal" is set many years after the events of the first movie, and Jen and Kira are now king and queen. When the Gelflings welcome a fiery and an unexpected visitor to their castle, they learn that the very existence of the U-mun people, who live in the searing heat in the center of the earth, is threatened by the death of their sun. There is apparently only one thing powerful enough to heal the dying sun - a shard of the Crystal.

The Gelflings refuse the U-mun request for a crystal shard, as breaking the crystal would disturb the peaceful surface world's balance. However the desperate visitor takes matters into her own hands and steals a shard, making a hasty escape through tunnels deep in the bowels of the castle. The surface world once again falls into darkness - as the UrSkek split into Mystics and Skeksis. So begins the adventure of Thurma, a girl "made of fire", who bands together with Kensho, an outcast Gelfling, in an adventure in the "inner-world" over the fate of the planet.

Sweet.

Double sweet.

It's like a really cheesy version of Lord Of The Rings, but with Muppets. Highly recommended. :cool

It is also referenced in a Stephen Lynch song too! :metal

Hmm. I had no idea they were making a new one. Could be very interesting.

I really dug the Clone Wars cartoons. You must not have liked them?

[tbhride]

The Clone Wars toons were definitely better than episodes 1 & 2 :D

I just think that Genndy Tartakovsky style of animation blows and didn't fit Star Wars at all. I thought the first few Dexter’s Laboratory were cool, but that style just doesn't work for Star Wars.

[Amon]

I agree with you about the animation. I almost didn't watch the Clone Wars cartoons because of it.

This isn't a cartoon and the design of everything was already set with TDC. I thought the Clone Wars storyline was well written and directed so I'm looking for this to be good.

dark crystal = one of the best movies ever.
