Really Surprised!
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Absolutely amazing
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
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*
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
A German production with incredible choreography that concludes the training of one of the most awesome Star Wars Bad-Asses in Darth Maul!This short movie is packed with all the action you need when Darth Maul is sent to a planet by Palpatine where he faces a group of Jedi (incl. Jedi Masters, Knights and Apprentices), kills them off to conclude his training and be granted the title of Darth Maul.Although it's an independent production the effects are stunning and fitting.After just 4 days online this had already over 4 Million views on Youtube. Well deserved.
