when single shines the triple sun,
what was sundered and undone,
shalllbe whole the two made one.
by gelfling hand or else by none.

I just realized something and I could be wrong but, doesn't that throne room belong to Maudra Fara from Stone-in-the-wood? I'm just taking a wild guess there. Plus Jen has got to be related to Rian I mean the resemblance is there plus Kira could be related to our smart girl Brea. Do many questions left unanswered.

That's an interesting theory except that Deet went into exile after being consumed by The Darkening and Rian didn't kill any Skeksis saying "I'm no killer", plus if he did kill The Chamberlain he would also kill his Mystic Counterpart The Chanter but he had no way of knowing that until the end of the movie when he finally heals The Dark Crystal and The Mystics and Skeksis are reunited and become Urskeks once again and able to go back to their own planet or dimension from whence they came in the first place.

Cut off right before the best part...why is the colour so desaturated in these clips?

I Think the Chamberlain want only Jen because he is Rian and Deet's son. I Think that Chamberlain wanted to gets Revenge against Rian and Deet because they heals the crystal defeating the Darkening and making the Emperor weak and few years later the Chamberlain killed Rian and Deet in the front of little Jen. Why they didn't put Rian's ghost in original Dark Crystal to guide his son Jen to heals Thra? Well Dark Crystal is star wars's younger brother because the story are similars.
