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 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.

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.
