Visible crew/equipment: When the evil birds send the big beetle-like monsters out to look for Jen, they run into a tunnel. When the beetles run to the camera you can see that between their legs, there is a pair of human legs.

Jen places the shard inside the crystal. The Mystics and the Skeksis join together and they go back to their original form (the urSkeks). Ages ago, in their arrogance, they misused the crystal and became separated and then the world changed. The urSkeks revive Kira and before leaving they tell Jen and Kira to take care of their world. The last scene is the land restored to its former beauty.

Jen: The prophecy never said anything about this.
Kira: Prophets don't know everything.
Trivia: Augra, the horned being with curly hair, is the guardian of Thra who was initially possessing both male and female attributes-but most of the male part of her was lost while viewing the Universe. She still sports some whiskers on her face to show that she's still not entirely either gender.
Question: When Jen looks at the shard, he sees in image of a Skeksis striking the crystal, but why when the beings of light appear, do they say that they were the ones responsible for shattering it?

Answer: The skeksis and the beings of light are the same, each being a different side (good and bad) therefore it was there evil side (the skeksis) that struck the crystal.
