Viewing Notes
I like the idea and premise here that gives a little more background to Darth Maul without doing too much. Good action and nice on location photography. What holds it back from a 7+ rating is that it still looks like a fan film. The costumes and appearance of the other characters look as though they were plucked off the convention floor at a SW Celebration event. Nothing about them strikes me as part of this world or Star Wars. I do like the girl apprentice jedi but she’s not enough.
Very watchable however and makes me crave more similar ideas but fan films like these need to get beyond the “fan film” aesthetic.
