Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Octavian1034 The light saber battle in this was better than any Star Wars movie, even without the big movie studio special effects. Disney should hire these guys to do their choreography. If the creators of this short film had the budget and writers of a Disney or previous Lucas Film, they could make the best Star Wars full length film in history. Other than the choreography the acting was much better than I expected from a fan movie. If they put this on a Blu Ray or 4k I would definitely buy it. Great job folks!

sdmeshotto 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*

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) 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.

KalKenobi83 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
