Sorry. I'll try not to do that again.

I think you're remembering the Kree from Marvel comics. I'm just kind of wondering if this was a subconscious mistake--like when Sanderson originally named Elantris "Adonis". Maybe someone can ask him at his next signing.

So, I've only just now heard about Skyward and Sanderson's alien race called the Krell. However, the Krell are also the alien race from the old Forbidden Planet movie from the 50's. Did Sanderson do this on purpose? Is this the same race? Or a coincidence and mistake? I searched all over the Forum and couldn't find any mention of this. Forbidden Planet is a pretty famous movie, so I am kind of surprised it hasn't come up. (Or my GoogleFu is not very good... which is more likely.)
