      Everything you wanted from Darth Maul

      The amount of work that went into this fan film is amazing. Typically fan films have crappy picture, audio, and dialogue. Everything about this was professional. Even the CGI was good. The world would be a merrier place if every fan film was as good as this.

      I give this a 10, simply because, since it is a short film and is full of well coordinated cinematography and lightsaber dueling, there isn't anything to critique. It's perfect.

      We all wanted more screen time out of Darth Maul, and more action. It keeps within his character's savageness. This short film perfects this. Darth Maul taking on like 6 Jedi. It's a dream come true. Like, it's impossible not to like it. Go watch it on Youtube right now.

      Go, go! *makes shooing gesture with hand*

      An Excellently Executed Short Film

      The 15+ minutes that are contained in this fantastic short film are action packed to the core and contain some fabulous lightsaber action. The Darth Maul character is given a little more depth here and we get to learn a little more about him in between the non-stop saberplay.

      This is I must say, hands down the best fan made films in the sci-fi universe that I have seen besides the excellent STAR TREK CONTINUES episodes. Directed, written and produced by Shawn Bu, Shawn, whomever you are, I really look forward to whatever you are putting out next. Hopefully another Star Wars related feature. Thank you for this film! Highly Recommended!!!

      Fantastic! Action packed! So impressed!!

      This short film was 17+ minutes of awesome! I'm so impressed with everything about it! The story, the acting, the skill of the actors, all amazing! Death Maul looks fantastic, so do the other characters. The action packed fight scenes were phenomenal to watch! It's hard to believe, for me at least, that this is a fan film! I would love to see more from the people that created this, I've watched it several times already, it's incredible, from start to finish! Everything about it looks so authentic, if you are reading reviews debating if you should watch just stop and check it out, whether you are a huge Star Wars fan or not, It's definitely worth it!

      The best Star Wars fan-film I've seen so far!

      The special effects were really well done, the acting was above average when it comes to fan movies, it kept you excited. The pacing was good and not too fast. The choreography was outstanding and the make-up and practical effects were magnificent. This is by far the best fan-movie I've seen to date, it outranks fan films such as Star Wars: Legends Legacy of the Force, Star Wars: Threads of Destiny and many more. I can't wait to see what more Star Wars the makers of Darth Maul: Apprentice will release. Hopefully more fan-films will come our way soon.

      It surpassed my expectations, the 20 minutes I spent watching this fan- film I didn't regret one bit. Overall I give the movie a 9/10 (For fan- films, as this isn't a blockbuster movie)
