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!

I find it outstanding how passionate fans can make a better star wars film than big Hollywood directors from time to time. Lord knows this film has true heart and soul put into it. Lets keep it simpleAction: Fantastic, good choreography, solid acting, very well executed and honestly surprisingly damn good considering its a fan- film. Story: Darth Maul becoming a true sith. Its great. And I love how we finally see his true potential which was only depicted properly in the comics unlike Phantom Menace. Really happy to see him done justice. Effects: They are really good. Both in regard to visuals and sound. The lightsabers look great, believable, the sound design is awesome and the soundtrack fits quite well too. Actors and costumes: It works. Really damn well. Darth Maul looks terrifying and very very convincing. Costumes are great, the movie doesn't look cheap. One thing though. I was finding it hilarious how the jedi master with them looked like Pewdiepie. Didn't kill anything though because he was cool and the dialog with the terrified padawan was a really nice touch to portray the Jedi as more than just practice for Maul. Not to mention the small but cool character progression of the padawan when she decides to take a final stand against Maul although all odds were against her. Bottomline: I really love this film. I wish it was longer. I want more like this. Definitely the best Star Wars fan-film I've ever seen. Thank you to the actors, directors and writers for this. 8 out of 10. Fantastic fan-film. A must see for all Star Wars fans as well as Maul fans who hated Lucas not doing him justice in Phantom Menace. This is your film. Hope to see more like this.

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!!!

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*
