Over the years, there has been no shortage of Star Wars fan films attempting to capture the magic of the real film franchise. And while this film falls short of a true Hollywood-level film work, Darth Maul: Apprentice might be the best Star Wars fan film I’ve ever seen.
Posted on YouTube on Saturday, the 18-minute film starts with a member of the Sith monitoring events across the universe via a holographic display. But that’s just where the impressive special effects begin. The short film includes space flight, forest drones and an incredibly epic lightsaber battle. I won't spoil it for you, but there are things in the film I've wanted to see in a real Star Wars film for a long time (hint: lightsaber stuff).
