I dare say, Star Wars fans are some of the most creative people on the planet. That fact shows through clearly in the Star Wars fan film community where countless productions, ranging from feature length to only a few minutes long, have wowed audiences for decades. One of the newest fan films to hit the web has been drawing some much deserved attention and has garnered over 3 million views after only a few days on YouTube. Produced by T7 Production, "Darth Maul: Apprentice" glimpses into a time prior The Phantom Menace and, as the title implies, focuses on Darth Maul and his thrilling battle with the Jedi. Check out the video below:
Dynamic cinematography, beautiful & unique locations and original music, along with stunning choreography and special effects instantly makes this film one of the best of its kind. There are many stellar fan films that solely focus on the Lightsaber duel(s), and while this one does revolve around a collection of stellar face offs, its given a increased amount of substance with a significant amount of dialogue that is well delivered by its cast. And, contrary to that, I liked the Maul only has one line, which is consistent with his lack of dialogue in The Phantom Menace. It's a nice touch on the filmmaker's part. Also, hats off to those behind makeup and costumes, especially Darth Maul's very authentic look. Darth Maul: Apprentice is an incredible piece of fan filmmaking!

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT. Well done. The light saber duels were superb, well choreographed.
ReplyDeleteThis fan film is better than the force awakens and more original, no remakes at all
ReplyDeleteGREAT!!
ReplyDeleteFelt more at home with this short than the whole of the force awakens. If anything this puts the force awakens to shame. Thanks peeps and keep up the good work, we need guys like yourselves to push the boundries and to truly show what is capable without the big corps. Again thank you and good luck.
ReplyDeleteReally, the light saber duels were garbage. Here let me strike and you hit my saber. There were more than a few times maul was waiting for his his saber to be struck before going to the next "move". The hack acting was beyond horrible. Yeah it wasn't a remake and the scenery was nice but come on people. You all just seem bent because the force awakens was similar
ReplyDeletecome on mate, that was awesome, I hope they put out more of the same
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
