I've always felt skekTek secretly was at least open to the idea of rejoining with his Uru counterpart. He was different than the others. One of the more, if not most tragic of the Skeksis. Shame he died before the crystal was healed.
Honestly, I feel really bad for skekTek. He's basically a weak nerd who sided with the popular kid in hopes of being accepted, but he ended up more miserable than anything else. skekTek became my second favorite skeksis during the AoR because I think he's more relatable than the others are.
While I love this analysis (given that Skektek is my favorite skeksis), I'd just like to add to the scene where Aughra is being drained, because Skektek looks to the Emperor before replying to Aughras mentions of them being friends once. It shows that, even then, he was still after the approval of the Skeksis around him, to the point where he would forsake his own feelings and opinions just for that approval and acceptance.
Man my boy SkekTek just wanted to be liked. I guess his final experiment, though he never intended to test it, was to see what would happen if he passed away
I noticed how kind he was in the beginning of the series compared to how it progressed and the movie, he & SkekMal are my favorites. Out of all the Skeksis, those two deserved to become whole more than those who did.
While the other skeksis just hang around, he literally finds a way to make them immortal. But they still don't take him seriously, they ignore him, abuse him, and still talk about him like he's useless (Even though he just made them immortal). He's also surprisingly naive. The Chamberlain pretends to be his friend, and then backstabs him cruelly. As socially awkward as he is, he doesn't fit in with the other skeksis, and doesn't have any friends apart from the animals in his laboratory, which he actually cares for (For a skeksis, to actually show signs of empathy is quite the exception). Even though he's rather submissive with the other skeksis, without him their ending would have come a lot sooner.
I’ve always seen SkekTek more as a tragic character rather than a creature born from the evil of a celestial being. Most of his actions seem to try to win the approval of the other Skeksis rather than extend his life span or gain political power. Unfortunately, all of his efforts are met with criticism, abuse, and an increased hunger for more power from the other Skeksis. It feels like his efforts being met with such hostility and little praise drove him mad as opposed to him being born mad during the great divide. In other words, unlike the other Skeksis, nurture made him evil, not nature. It’s especially tragic that the ones who drove him to madness and forced him to do such evil actions were reunited with their other halves while SkekTek perished.
As sympathetic as his character mightve been originally he was truly one of the most cruel and evil of the Skeksis. He mercilessly mocked his victims before draining him. When the other skeksis were in battle he abused the podlings so bad that they actually protested him (think about how whipped and obedient they were at that point). The way he killed the gruenaks too was sickening. It doesnt matter what your origin is. If you let your past make you evil youre still evil.
i feel really sad after hearing how he is in forever darkness after he died, never to meet ogra ever again in another world, another time
SkekTek was always my favourite back in the movie because I always thought he looked so cool as a kid.
SkekTek is they only Skeksis that I feel sorry for instead of being appreciated for his talents he was abused just for being the weakest and what makes me fell more sorry for him is that he never became one with UrTih again.
Skektek is my favourite as he's so unique and I feel bad for him but deep down he does have a caring nature and just needs a friend or someones help
Well friends, unfortunately my clips from Age of Resistance that i use in these videos has come to an end. Netflix finally decided to start striking me for giving them free promotion. Awesome! I'm sure leaving the video clip in would have really damaged your income. But no worries, the content won't be affected so i hope you all will continue to enjoy the videos just the same. As always, if you enjoyed this please remember to like, share, comment, turn on those notifications, and most important...keep those animals silent!!
Now having seen Joker finally last week, I can't help but draw certain comparisons between the two. And not just because Mark Hamil is the most brilliant voice actor to have ever voiced The Joker, and happens to voice SkekTek. Their stories are similar. Just trying to get through life, but it keeps throwing curve balls and he does what he think is best but ends up committing horrible atrocities. The fact that he seemed to want to drain as few Gelfling as possible, and was worried about the possible negative outcomes of what he truly saw as abusing The Crystal. Those two facts just make me sympathise with his character more. Like was mentioned about the Gruenaks, I feel like he did what he did to them not out of a feeling of "this is what the Emperor SkekSo would want", but rather I feel like he felt betrayed by them, by them trying to escape. It's sad because if things were different, I could have seen him ending up on the other side. But we all know from the movie, they there is no happy ending for him.
Skektek could have been ruler of the entire planet if he had the skekballs
I showed this video to a friend and convinced them to watch the show.

Do you think deep down skektek secretly regretted doing things like corrupting the crystal, draining the gelfling, and not trying stop the darkening.
Wow I would’ve never thought I’d feel bad for any of the skesis but I do for the Scientist. I can’t help but to feel bad after the way you narrated his story. On a side note Netflix is a POS for coming at you like that
I love him 'cause he's voiced by mark hamill, mostly. also, I like his struggle of being the smartest man in the room, but also the weakest and most prone to abuse
