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.

Procter & Gamble's Old Spice deodorant has caused severe rashes and chemical burns
Procter & Gamble's Old Spice deodorant has caused severe rashes and chemical burns to possibly thousands of "unsuspecting consumers," according to a class-action lawsuit. Procter & Gamble is being sued for more than $5 million in damages. There have been hundreds of complaints on social media and a consumer affairs website, where the product has been rated one star.
The lawsuit names 13 Old Spice products – among them, Old Spice Lionpride and Arctic Force High Endurance deodorants – that it says have affected "hundreds, if not thousands, of consumers."
According to the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Columbus, there have been hundreds of online complaints about the products.
"In addition to blog complaints, YouTube features numerous videos also documenting armpit irritation, rash(es) and burning caused by Old Spice deodorant," the lawsuit states. "Indeed, the problem is rampant, and rather than acknowledge the serious issue, Defendant is concealing it, in order to continue selling the product and reap windfall profits."
Customers have posted shocking images of their armpits on social media, bringing the issue to light just recently, but this has been affecting customers since at least 2014.
A video was posted to YouTube about a year and a half ago warning people of the burns.
“I’ve been using Old Spice for a long time, no problems with it, no burns under my arms or anything,” Michael Smith said.
“Recently I purchased Old Spice High Endurance Fresh, as you can see I’ve used it many times.
“I started developing these red marks under my arms three or four days ago.”
Another man also posted a video in 2014, complaining about the Old Spice Aqua Reef brand.
Procter & Gamble spokesman Damon Jones told USA Today the products were safe to use and said the problems customers were experiencing were not chemical burns, but skin reactions that could be caused by ingredients such as alcohol or fragrance.
“We go to great lengths to ensure our products are safe to use, and tens of millions of men use this product with confidence and without incident every year,” he said.
“A small number of men may experience irritation due to alcohol sensitivity, a common ingredient across virtually all deodorant products. For men who have experienced a reaction to a deodorant, an antiperspirant may be a better option because they have a different formulation.”
I think this is marketing bullshit! Procter & Gamble don't want to recognise they had problems with this batch production! The people suffer and P&G think on their revenue!
