Crappy film

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I find it outstanding how passionate fans can make a better star wars film than big Hollywood directors from time to time. Lord knows this film has true heart and soul put into it. Lets keep it simpleAction: Fantastic, good choreography, solid acting, very well executed and honestly surprisingly damn good considering its a fan- film. Story: Darth Maul becoming a true sith. Its great. And I love how we finally see his true potential which was only depicted properly in the comics unlike Phantom Menace. Really happy to see him done justice. Effects: They are really good. Both in regard to visuals and sound. The lightsabers look great, believable, the sound design is awesome and the soundtrack fits quite well too. Actors and costumes: It works. Really damn well. Darth Maul looks terrifying and very very convincing. Costumes are great, the movie doesn't look cheap. One thing though. I was finding it hilarious how the jedi master with them looked like Pewdiepie. Didn't kill anything though because he was cool and the dialog with the terrified padawan was a really nice touch to portray the Jedi as more than just practice for Maul. Not to mention the small but cool character progression of the padawan when she decides to take a final stand against Maul although all odds were against her. Bottomline: I really love this film. I wish it was longer. I want more like this. Definitely the best Star Wars fan-film I've ever seen. Thank you to the actors, directors and writers for this. 8 out of 10. Fantastic fan-film. A must see for all Star Wars fans as well as Maul fans who hated Lucas not doing him justice in Phantom Menace. This is your film. Hope to see more like this.

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!!!

First of all, I am not the greatest Star Wars fan, but this film's rising popularity made me curious. "Darth Maul: Apprentice" is a 15-minute (without credits) short film that was released roughly 2 weeks ago and managed 6.5 million clicks on Youtube since then. Not bad at all. The director is Shawn Bu and do not be mislead by the name: This is a German production with English language though. It shows us Darth Maul's rise to power. There is no denying this is really very good for a fan film and not many of these come close to such a level. People who appreciate Star Wars more than I do may even have a great time watching this one. I had a good time. The actors in here, especially Mathis Landwehr, are all also quite experienced already, definitely also more than usual for a fan film. I recommend checking this one out. Thumbs up.

I have been a Star Wars fan Since 1997 I think we have the best fans, this is Fantastic some much Love an Effort Put in this from The Direction to Final Also really loved how they gave Darth Maul A Pre- Phantom Menace Story kind of like a Tie-In Comic also I really enjoyed the Story and Everything also i can make a film like this on this grand of scale, to those at A7 Productions I'm hoping for more featuring More Villains and Heroes also I think George Lucas,Kathleen Kennedy,Dave Filoni and Pablo Hildalgo would be proud of it as a fan i can say it would awesome for 18 Minutes of Star Wars A Fan-Film Worthy Of The Title Star Wars 10/10
