    I loved seeing SkekSo so fleshed our in this series. He is an interesting character indeed, but I don’t feel bad for him.

    Gotta say, in terms of "Evil Rulers", skekSo is one of my favorites. He may not be an evil genius - or even a competent leader - but he certainly knows how to instill fear in his underlings. Whenever he speaks,

    He was only in the movie briefly, at the very begining, but they managed to integrate him into the series as the Skeksis's leader PERFECTLY.

    The Emperor's deeds were vile, and I do not agree with what he did. But can any of us honestly say that we don't empathize with where he was coming from?

    I loved it when he said to Mother Aughra that he would never be dust. Completely foreshadowed his death. Great video!

    Twisted character...power hungry beast! That notwithstanding though, I think he "cared" for the Skeksis in that he wanted them to be able to live forever because that means he will live forever. His wants and needs are always the most important and trump everyone else's.

    Damn with they way you put his story out there, it makes me feel like Age of Resistance barely scratches the surface of back story

    Skekgra the Heretic is definitely my favorite character in the series, possibly my favorite character of all time!

    Jason Isaacs is the best Emperor voice ever played.

    SkekSo is one, if not my all time, favorite Skeksis out of all of them. While only appearing in one scene and died in the exact same scene, he gave such an aura that his followers had jumped when he snapped at the Chamberlain. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the Emperor was actually very benevolent during his early reign. But his fear came to pass, as the Skeksis Emperor literally turned to dust.

    He such a cool villain. Even in the movie when there's almost literally nothing left of him, he holds onto his moxie until the bitter end. Snatching his scepter back from the Chamberlain and snarling "I am still emperor!" with his last labored breath is like the dark version of King Viserys making his power walk in House of the Dragon.

    A villain I say is on par with others such as Megatron, Smaug, and even all the Disney villains.

    The scene where skekso talks about dreaming is my favorite scene in the series

    that scene where the Emperor talks to General (RIP, can be anywhere now) really made me root for Skesis so much. I am so glad that the AOR series explains where they are coming from with this obsession with immortality, in the original movie it was more like 'and here we have these dreadful monster we all wanna see die'... so glad the dynamics have changed.

    You know, I never thought SkekSo the Emperor looked creepy or scary in the show, but when I saw that figurine made by Weta Workshop it gave me nothing but goosebumps.

    My favourite Skeksis! He’s fascinating in their series and terrifying for the few minutes he’s in the movie
