Among the criticisms of " Star Wars: The Phantom Menace " (1999), there is a character who was saved from the burning: Darth Maul , the famous apprentice of Darth Sidious carrying a double lightsaber blade. George Lucas gave that role to the expert in martial arts Scottish actor Raymond Park , which solved it so successfully that there were many followers who asked to Lucasfilm to make a spin-off telling the story of the villain.
The spin-off never came, although a short film shot by a group of experts followers in film, entitled "Darth Maul: Apprentice , " which already has more than six million views on Youtube. As its title suggests, this film over 17 minutes tells the story of when the famous character was just a young apprentice on his way to becoming a Sith.
Shawn Bu is the writer, producer, director and editor of the short it took no less than two years in shooting, with under T7 Production . Its creators have ensured that this story is completely original and that has nothing to do with any of the books of the saga of " The Wars " or any other comic book, novel or animated series in which Darth Maul appears.
Both special effects like the action scenes of this film have surprised fans of "Star Wars", many of whom have speculated his reappearance in episode VIII, directed by Rian Johnson . The surprise would be a joy for those fans who were delighted by the brief interpretation of Raymond Park, in the same way that decades ago Boba Fett managed to get the audience in the heart despite its limited impact in the first trilogy.
While speculate if that happens, enjoy the breathtaking fights, special effects, sound and makeup "Darth Maul: Apprentice '... it is likely that they are not disappointed.
