It's clear that The Dark Crystal is as beloved by circles as Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, et al is to other, often significantly overlapping circles. That geek-cred has seriously informed the vision, and thus the production values.
Casting for this extravaganza pulls talent famous from their position within these other circles to add their love and audiences to something I suspect they love as well. Though it does make the Scientist's mutterings and triumphs bring up The Joker in my brain.
