Darth Maul: Apprentice

Many Star Wars fans will tell you that the best thing about The Phantom Menace was Darth Maul, and he got killed almost immediately after appearing onscreen. Someone finally did something about that. Shawn Bu of T7 Productions made a fan film about Darth Maul in his earlier life. It’s a very well-made fanfilm. Watch the young Sith take on multiple opponents with his duel-blade lightsaber.

We worked incredibly hard on this film for almost 2 years! We always felt that Darth Maul should have had more screen time. So we wanted to create a film just for him with the best lightsaber fights we could do!

This is one extended battle sequence, and worth every minute. See a making-of video here. (via Metafilter)
