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)

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!!!

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!

I usually am not a fan of fan-films, but this is very very well done. Maul is one of my favorite characters in Star Wars so i can't believe it took me so long to come across this.its beyond an excellent job and in my opinion this should be canon :).

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

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*

I get that this is definitely higher quality than most fan films, and also has better acting and is pretty well-choreographed, but it's still not great. A lot of people are rating it 10s, and it has a rating of 7.7, which is the same rating of certain excellent movies, and higher than some of the actual Star Wars movies. So, even though it's an impressive short film to be made and funded purely by fans, it still is just "ok," and certainly doesn't meet the standards of actual Star Wars movies, except The Rise Of Skywalker, which I will gladly admit is definitely worse than this fan film.

Great Fan Film but lack of story and too much fighting.

If you look for a fan film which focuses on lightsaber combat, this is the film to watch.

In the world of corporate board members aiming to get as much merchandise from an iconic saga, this Short film gives the fans something to celebrate and enjoy.

The choreography is great and the premise within Star Wars is believable.

This is better directed than most of the actual Star Wars movies! Great cinematography, great choreography, great acting and action. Really really impressive, especially for a fan film. Shawn Bu is going places.

Everything about this fan film was done well. Acting, choreography, visual and sound FX are all spot on.

Best star wars fan film ever! Great production and everything

It's so great that something can inspire people to create. This is quite well done and enjoyable with good acting, especially with how difficult it can be to convey subtleties past so much makeup and prosthetics.

You did great work, love it! You had a lots of effort and I love that! You are great filmmakers

Okay...here's what you do...imagine that this short film is the actual intro to The Phantom Menace. Now, you have that well deserved screen time that Maul should have had in the original, and an action packed beginning that is way more exciting than 2 Jedi resolving a trade dispute. In fact, I'll make it even easier for you Star Wars fans; here's a new crawl I wrote that you can read before watching this masterpiece and then following it up with TPM:

The Galactic Republic is now secretly under the control of a Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, and his apprentice, Maul, who is completing his training. His last task, to kill a group of Jedi.

At the same time, Sidious begins his manipulation of the Republic by employing the greedy Trade Federation to block all trade to the planet, Naboo.

Although its people and leader, Queen Amidala, are peaceful, the blockade serves as a political device for Sidious to gain power in the Galactic Senate. Two Jedi Knights attempt to negotiate with the leaders of the Trade Federation

Now all you have to do is try to ignore the Jar Jar antics, and you'll have a much richer and more adult oriented film. Try this out; guarantee you'll enjoy TPM more than you did before.

I've seen a lot of "Star Wars" fan films over the years and this is pretty awesome. The plot is relatively simple. Darth Maul is finishing his training by hunting down six Jedi. Only one appears at first, so he fights five Jedi at once. The makeup is absolutely amazing. Some people thought it was actually Darth Maul's actor, Ray Park in this.

It isn't, but it's a wonderful imitation. It's hard to tell with so much makeup. I was thinking this would be about Darth Maul after getting cut in half. Expanded Universe talks about that a lot. It was amazing to see such a great imitation. I will admit it was kind of dumb how they didn't retreat after over half of their allies were cut down. ***1/2.
