Hey, richtig gut gemacht aber die würge Szenen waren nicht so gut gespielt aber ansonsten alles 100% das war richtig gut ihr könnt stolz sein und das war bestimmt viel arbeit und hat sich jahre lang gedauert, ich finde es hat mehr likes verdient aber toll gemacht. Hatte aus dem echten Film sein können und richtig gut gemachte Kämpfe einfach nur heftig. 🤩
the subtleties of his facial expressions gives him all the character and story one needs. It's amazing to see a slight bit of humanity come out, then watch it disappear when he sees he's being watched
alternate timeline: obi wan jumps down says "hello there" and grievous turns around revealing 40 arms all holding lightsabers. He starts spinning them all and takes off accidentally
I love how at the end he seems conflicted about killing her. When he fights her, you can kind of tell he's just toying with her, he barely even blocks her attacks in favor of dodging and he doesn't use both blades while fighting her. She shows that she is not quite a Jedi yet, as she weeps and seems to let her anger get the better of her. The ending gives me the feeling that if Palpatine were not watching, Maul would have spared her life and maybe even taken her as his apprentice. This is a very good fan film.
U are so right the way he looked at her an the fight showed he was testing her he wanted to bring her along he for sure would have knocked her out an took her if palp wasn't watching would have made a good next film an good ending but we all know palp would have killed em
@@sparkyd6225 Pretty sure Dooku knew about the rule of two, didn't stop him taking on Ventress or Grievous. Pretty sure Palpatine had Maul on strings though so he defs would've found out regardless.
The actor for Maul got everything so right, from the facial expressions, to the fighting style, he even nails Maul's classic final blow (stab or slash to the mid section while the opponent is either too tired and telegraphing his next move, usually a downward strike coming from above). THIS is how you portray a character accurately! Props to the choreographer as well for training all of the Jedi and Maul himself, too understand how two swordsmen can duel with different styles is amazing, then add to the part where both are adapting to each other's styles. This is quality, absolute dedication.
The guy who played Maul is Maul Cosplay, who does ultra realistic cosplays. Google Maul's Zane cosplay from Borderlands, that one is absolutely mind-blowing.
I was going to say the same about the facial expressions and fighting style!! It's awesome! I've always wanted to see more of a back story about Maul...he's my favorite Sith
While Maul's silence is epic, his Clone Wars and Rebels scenes are some of the best Star Wars we've had. I'd go as far as to say that Maul is the best character in the history of Star Wars.
the actor who played maul is incredible, you can see the regret and pain in his eyes before he strikes down the final apprentice and yet still manages to look evil and imposing 10/10
JokerAsylum the mouth area couldve been better, dont get me wrong i really enjoyed this but i felt that it looked like he had a cartoonish exaggerated grin sometimes. Again, i still enjoyed it
This short film definitely does justice to the personality and character of Maul. The hesitation of the final kill shows who we see in the clone wars and matches him perfectly. He loved a fair fight and the art of the duel.
Very good observation on your part. Maul was secretly very loving as Sidious never truly drove out the inner child still living in Maul. He would have spared her had not Sidious been watching him. The reason being is that the fear and helplessness she exhibited reminded him of his own vulnerability and the brutality he experienced at the hands of Darth Sidious during his childhood training. Had he not killed her he knew Sidious would have killed him.
@@michaeltruthson6262 wtf are you on about? There's no way Maul would ever spare a Jedi or a padawan. Literally his entire being is dedicated to how much hate he has for them, he more than likely would have toyed with her longer if Sidious wasn't watching, he would be expected to end her when the opportunity arises. That's probs why he looked pissed lol
@@Morbidoner thanks for your comment and my reasoning regarding Darth Maul is due to my having read SW: The Revenge of Darth Maul" which chronicles the experiences he faced with Darth Sidious from his childhood. Yes he was a Sith Lord Enforcer but psychologically he was a shattered soul with deep compassion . Sidious had always hated that both Maul and Anakin never fully embraced the idea of absolute ruthlessness as he hoped they would considering how powerful they were. I recommend you read the book.
I love how Maul takes the masked Jedi and Master seriously, but legitimately plays with the apprentice in the final fight. He doesn't even ignite his second saber. He seems to almost be testing just how much a Jedi is willing to endure, and while she is a significantly less skilled fighter you can see that he gains respect for her determination by the end. Maul respects power and sheer will above all else. Only his fear of Palpatine is stronger
@@sebsteyn1592 if you watch the Clone Wars TV show, without spoilers, it is made clear that Maul is absolutely TERRIFIED of Palpatine. Some of the best star wars moments involve that plot line.
I dont think he didnt ignite his second saber because he didnt respect her as a fighter. It just doesnt make sense to use a double bladed saber against a single opponent, its for fighting alone against two or more enemies.
Couldn't agree more. Darth Maul was brilliant. Brilliant light saber skills and his eyes told you exactly what he was feeling. The rest of the acting paled in comparison.
Obi wan lost to maul.....simple. ( aint talking about animated clone wars lol) maul was far superior. Maul lost to maul....overconfidence. obi wan couldnt touch maul in a lightsaber duel lmao.... If he could they never would of made it to the deadend off of the bridge. Obi wan would of killed him much sooner. Maul easily beat both jedis.
@@datdawg9291 I 100 percent agree with everything he said. How in the hell is Maul gonna 2v1 obi and his master effortlessly, but then lose to obi with the slowest attack I've ever seen. There's simply no way he wouldn't have seen that shit coming.
It can't be canon. With these 5 missing, the Jedi would've sent a search party, would've found their bodies and realized that they were killed by a lightsaber. At least from my point of view they would've instantly realized the sith were back.
I really like this because it shows a lot without telling you, like, the downfall of the Jedi was actually the master's hubris, he thought he would be the one to defeat a sith lord while he really should have protected his padawans and fled to tell the council. This reflects the way the jedi forgot how powerful the sith actually are. The master realizes this too late, hence his final words, "I'm sorry." Really good little movie.
@@TheLostOne3243 Haven't you noticed that Darth Sidious predicted their fall by saying the Jedi became arrogant and Maul used that to his advantage by retreating to the forest
Rogue one and The Mandalorian weren't bad, the new trilogy couldn't be good either way, far too late to tell the story that needed to be told. What hardcore fan (Movies and EU) wanted to see another character come along and take as long to build as Luke has been; before we moved out of that era of story? That's what, 40 years or so of story to make up for? I'm glad they got this new trilogy out of the way.. While these fan films can be cool. They have no plot, little dialogue, they're just glorified battle sequences. Comparing them to films is kinda low brow, not to mention, picking on Disney's attempt is low hanging fruit at this point. Even Lucas himself couldn't recapture the essence of Star Wars in his later attempts in live action film. That said.. Strip all of the social dogma, story, acting, etc away. Just play out the action sequences and what would be different from a fan film; aside from far better production, effects and stunt performers at the disposal of a multi million dollar studio? Not much... I also have to say, Dave Filoni deserves a mention here as well. That dude could make the Clone Wars era and Anakin into likable things. There's still hope for some good Star Wars to come, as long as he's still given projects to do. And they're based on new concepts to follow.. That's just my two cents anyway.
@@hunterleyendecker4305 So your original thought is to call out others for their lack of original thought? So not only are you a hypocrite, but you also fail to bring anything new or constructive to the conversation. 👏 I guess we know where to send Goop is they want to start making asshole scented candles.
The whole fan-film is amazing, actors are fabulous, but the absolute highlight is the guy who plays Darth Maul. He summed up the character perfectly, he doesn't say a word, almost doesn't change his expression, but all along you know exactly what he thinks, and only with his gentle facial expressions. Awesome, truly awesome.
I like how he didn't want to kill her. He saw her fear. She changed right in front of him through the pain of losing her master and friends. She chose to face her enemy and even in defeat she stared him in the eyes with anger and passion. He respected her from a warriors perspective and he was not full blown sith yet either. But he knew Palpie was watching so he got super pissed off and used it to strike her down. Outstanding. A fantastic look at who Maul was before his obsession with obi wan. Who knew 17 minutes could beat all of Disney.
When one sith lord can take on around 6 Jedi and kill most of them, they're training has clearly been slipping. Oh hang on they all died how Dissapointing that quigon jinn and obiwan could both endure a fight with Maul longer than half a dozen jedi.
For a 17 min fan made video. This was well written better than Disneys the Acolyte. The fight sequences and just the story of the sith being discovered and hidden just makes more sense.
It is unacceptable that a few fans with low resources make a better clip than all what Disney's Empire created since they acquired the franchise. Epic.
@@fabianmeyer506 if it was a 2 hour film with a bigger budget, it would make star wars fans crazy, it would be like when phantom menace came out, but the movie was actually good.
Why is it unacceptable? We live in a time where we have the gear to make this possible on a low budget. The talent has always been there, but the products to bring their visions to life weren't. That has changed, and as a budding independent film maker I don't care that a few fans with low resources can make a better clip that all what disney's empire created since they acquired the franchise. I revel in it. Great times indeed.
@@godboy159 This is what I am saying. I enjoyed this clip more than everything released by disney since they acquired the franchise, regardless of the fact that they have unlimited resources and could have done a legacy.
It was really good, my only slight problem with it is when he saw the girl crying lying down he felt resentment in this whereas the real Darth maul wouldn't have as he is filled with the only rage and revenge. It was a really good job in the role and I don't think many people could've done better but that's just one of my small little opinions. Not taking away from the fact that it was a really good performance!
@@tylerderpface9563 I disagree. that scene contrasted Darth Maul in Phantom Menace vs Darth Maul in this film perfectly. showing how he hesitated when confronted with a helpless enemy and pressed through it.
Nice touch that when the Padawan has her 'last stand' it doesn't make her a better duelist. I always hate that in movies, suddenly your decision to stand up to the mean guy means you're a blade master when before you were mediocre. He was clearly kicking her ass, he just wasn't hateful enough to kill her outright.
The1Floyd for real! This was the perfect mix of choreography and passionate fighting. Watching that last stand, I could feel the passion from each of her blows, but to see how useless it was says so much more about her character than to suddenly become a master on the spot. She was determined, passionate, maybe even desperate, but she was no master. Dang! This was good!
@@sethsmith4250 And I find interesting that it emphasizes that this is Darth Maul's story. What is important is not how grown that padawan is in her final moments, but how Darth Maul acts when he clearly has some degree of compassion for her.
I take this as canon. This interpretation of Darth Maul is really faithful to the Episode 1 version. The actor's face is very expressive, while keeping a silent demeanor just like Ray Park's take on it.
@@eliminator1472 dude, Maul would literally speedblitz them handily lmao. The dude has Hypersonic speed feats while these Jedi would cap at baseline Supersonic. Even Darth Sidious was hard pressed against him in training sessions and Darth Plagueis himself called Maul’s speed astounding, he’s in the same league of speed as them, and we’ve all seen what Sidious can do to people like Agen Kolar and Saesee Tiin. Kolar in particular being capable of stomping Quinlan Vos in a duel while he had fallen to the dark side. ‘The Zabrak’s fists and legs were as lethal as his lightsaber, and his speed was astounding.'' Source: Darth Plagueis Novel (2012) Maul's blade is too fast to see for Dark Jedi Komari Vosa, she sees multiple attacks, despite the fact Maul is wounded from his right arm by a blaster bolt. ''Vosa had all but admitted that she was no match for the erratic staccato blows that he was delivering, seemingly from everywhere, all at once. He swung out at her, the Dark Side streaming so powerfully from him now that itseemed to be pouring forth in great, explosive torrents. His blade was moving almost too fast to see.'' Source: Maul - Lockdown (2013) Maul can move so fast he’s essentially invisible, even holorecordings fail to record him and they need to be played back in slow motion just to show him whatsoever. ''Then he sprang to a series of other sites that ultimately carried him to the wall of the principal building, moving with such speed the entire time that whatever holorecordings were being made wouldn't show him unless they were played in slow motion.'' Darth Maul moves faster than a droid's photoreceptor can follow. ''Maul leaped aside, moving faster than the droid's photoreceptor could follow. The droid raced past him and smashed hard against the cell wall.'' Source: Episode I Adventures 3 - The Fury of Darth Maul (1999) Source: Darth Maul - Saboteur (2001) Long story short, the dude is broken a f compared to these fodders.
It’s very well made and Maul’s character is captured accurately, but It wouldn’t really work with canon if you think about it. Theres no way this wouldn’t have gotten the attention of the council, only a sith or someone trained in the jedi arts could kill 5 jedi (also they have lightsaber stab wounds) but Phantom menace shows that Qui Gon’s encounter with Maul on Tatooine was the first time a sith was seen in a long time. The council was surprised and even doubted his claims.
I don’t care what anybody says. Maul was “that dude”. Cool, laid back, quiet killer. No talking...just kicked ass. Raw and cold-hearted. He made it look good. Lol
@1234 *sighs* Reality and fantasy bounce off of each other, but it's not only trite but hateful to extrapolate praise for knowingly drawing out the intensity of a "dark character" along the same lines as those who *FUCKING MURDERED GENUINELY INNOCENT PEOPLE.* Do you think every single author who wrote a "bad guy" did so because they thought "badguy" was an awesome thought? Yeah I'm probably more angry than I should be, I'm just having a rough day. Best wishes all. Remember, the best villain you can think of can look you in the eye through the mirror, and breaking the mirror just makes it impossible to face alone. Will you face yourself alone, is it all a farce, shall you be swarmed and die unnamed? What is the Dark Side to you? Is there a difference between Self, Love, Light, Dark, ....what do you think? Anyway, if you're going to shoot up something, --------------------------
Love how expressive maul is with just the smallest facial expressions, like when the Padawan is crying and you can see maul debating if he should kill her, or feeling pity. The discomfort with the fact that he killed the Jedi, then the evil smirk as he hears sidious compliment him. All with barely any dialogue. 10/10.
When he gets double teamed and they go "there is no escape for you , surrender" He clearly gives them a look of "Over my dead body!" and then he beats the masked jedi one on one his face gave the look of respect for his fearlessness and skill.
Those parts were a bit weird. Only time we see him do that in TPM is when he is separated from Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan by the energy field. He really don't waste any time walking around trying to look badass.
@@larascasse9264 yeah i know what you mean. he's about action and only action though, i think they nailed it with the expressions. Maul's agility was more present too in all of the star wars, that's what made him an excellent sith
@@DarthVader-do8tu I base my opinion on the way Darth Maul is portrayed in TPM. The acting is spot on, but inconsistent with his character in that movie. I guess I've watched it about 10 times.
If this is the production values of a fanfic. Palpatine: Look well my apprentice, for the value of Disney and it's "attempts" at depicting my empire......Are at an end!!!
OMFG you managed in 17 minutes to restore my Star Wars hype so deeply massacred by the latest Disney productions. I love Sergio Leone references so much....really inspired and so true to the Star Wars Lucas continuum. By an old SW77 fan
No such as thing as "hold up". It stays the exact same forever, literally. Either you like it or you don't. Either your perception changes or it doesn't either way the content stays the same. Btw this is my first time watching this ever and it's great. "Holds up" is putting media into this very arbitrary and dogmatic, limited metric. Just food for thought.
@@anthonygarcia8749 you’re correct, things do stay exactly the same forever, and that’s what determines whether or not they hold up. The original Star Wars is a fantastic movie with a great story. And the effects might’ve been revolutionary at the time, but they don’t hold up compared to modern technology. They don’t hold the same wow factor or the same genius that they did 45 years ago. That doesn’t mean my opinion on the movie itself changes at all. It’s just that when I watch it, I know I’m watching something that was made in the 70s.
This has a better script, better cinematography, better tension and better lightsaber duels than the entire sequel trilogy mad by a multi-billion dollar corporation, wonderful job guys!
well this costed also more then a million just for this short movie. i feel like its this way. the fighting ? wayyyy better then disney star wars much more fast combat like mustafar. the special effect are a bit off in this one but thats ok compared what disney haves. the acting is also not thaaat good in this small movie. i will just say the camara angle and fighting overall are much better.
Quincy that would be tough. You would need a full on production lighting and green screen set, plus some amazing character animators. Not saying it can’t be done but it would be quite expensive. Clearly they have the talent for it.
These fan made films is how these guys Will be future hollywood directors and will probably a plus adding on your your resume using you tube technology.
Wow, this was amazing. Very well done by everyone involved, great action, emotion, and the production values are top-notch. Hope to see more Star Wars stuff.
Despite how old this video is this brings me back to when star wars was actually good and this blows Disney star wars out the water I love to see this as actual full length film
I love the rage Darth maul fights with in this. It doesn’t seem like they’re dancing it seems like they’re truly fighting to kill. Maul is fighting with so much power and rage which makes it so badass
Yeah it was great. One immersion break at the end when the camera zooms out on Maul fighting the girl and he makes a few rather useless pirouettes, but otherwise spot on.
@@johnnamkeh1290 didn't feel like a immersion break imho, kinda felt like something he'd do. Just like in the phantom menace, when Maul was under pressure he fought brutally and tactically, it wasn't until he felt he had already won that he started to "play" with his opponent
It also serves a purpose for Maul; part of his fighting style, at least in Legends, was a technique known as Dun Möch, which involved taunting and breaking the opponents spirit in order to prevent concentration, crucial to using the Force effectively. By “playing” with a target, Maul is driving home their helplessness and making them feel even more helpless.
Mind.Body.Soul Music had not Sidious been watching he would have released her. Considering his brutal past under Sidious, as he was given to him when he was a child Maul understood the young padawans fear. She like maul at one time was in over her head.
No reason not to. Wonderful thing about the vague timelines in Star Wars is that all non-canon material, be it legends, fan content, etc., can perfectly fit into the chronology if you want it to. This has never been contradicted by the canon material, so while Lucasfilm will never accept it as canon, it doesn't mean you can't.
Some people will call me a heretic for that, but I agree, at least to some extent. I read comments saying that this Maul is acting out of character, but I think there are ways to explain it. If you compare only this Maul and the one from the Phantom Menace, this one appears to have more emotional depth, and I'm all for it. But that's just my opinion.
I don’t know about that, but they definitely chose a great actor for the role. As someone who seldom speaks, Maul needs to be played by someone who can emote naturally and effectively, which was executed almost perfectly throughout.
I love how they used Maul's intense, silent Phantom Menace character, it really shows how much care and thought went into this whole project. Really great stuff!
To be fair, I am pretty sure the reason he's different is that he went insane on the garbage planet, so he lost all self control.@@cremedelamemesupreme1649
Actually he was never ment to be a silent character. The Actor they cast as Darth Maul Ray Park, (A Martial arts, quarter staff master. The same Actor who played 'Toad' in the original Xmen movie) did not have an intimidating voice at all. As his voice is higher pitched. So they cut almost all of Darth Maul's Voice lines and left them out, or gave them to others. The few words he speaks in the actual movie are done by a different actor they hired to voice the character. Really interesting trivia bit their.
@jamesmartin- That’s only half the story. The original actor wasn’t satisfied with Maul and actually quit the movie. So they quickly hired Ray Park and rewrote maul to be the silent assassin. Ray park was an excellent choice. And even recently was involved with the motion capture for Maul vs Ahsoka.
Erik de Jong I love how he does that honestly and just how much of a powerhouse he really is. Honestly I would use the force that way too if I could (with a little bit of force choking because force choking)
I was so worried they were going to ruin it by having one of the Jedi live, so they can warn the republic ruining the canon. but it didn’t and makes this feel more canon than the new disney trilogy

I dont think he didnt ignite his second saber because he didnt respect her as a fighter. It just doesnt make sense to use a double bladed saber against a single opponent, its for fighting alone against two or more enemies.

Hello There
This is not your moment Kenobi, come back later.
be a shame if darth maul was killed by some lame apprentice. am i right?....

This Maul is on par with Ray Park. Absolutely outstanding acrobatics and style.
I really like this because it shows a lot without telling you, like, the downfall of the Jedi was actually the master's hubris, he thought he would be the one to defeat a sith lord while he really should have protected his padawans and fled to tell the council.
This reflects the way the jedi forgot how powerful the sith actually are.
The master realizes this too late, hence his final words, "I'm sorry." Really good little movie.

Actors trash tho
@@nathangibson4568 Color Grading and Correction too tho
Rogue one and The Mandalorian weren't bad, the new trilogy couldn't be good either way, far too late to tell the story that needed to be told. What hardcore fan (Movies and EU) wanted to see another character come along and take as long to build as Luke has been; before we moved out of that era of story? That's what, 40 years or so of story to make up for? I'm glad they got this new trilogy out of the way..
While these fan films can be cool. They have no plot, little dialogue, they're just glorified battle sequences. Comparing them to films is kinda low brow, not to mention, picking on Disney's attempt is low hanging fruit at this point. Even Lucas himself couldn't recapture the essence of Star Wars in his later attempts in live action film. That said.. Strip all of the social dogma, story, acting, etc away. Just play out the action sequences and what would be different from a fan film; aside from far better production, effects and stunt performers at the disposal of a multi million dollar studio? Not much...
I also have to say, Dave Filoni deserves a mention here as well. That dude could make the Clone Wars era and Anakin into likable things. There's still hope for some good Star Wars to come, as long as he's still given projects to do. And they're based on new concepts to follow..
That's just my two cents anyway.
When the choreography of a fan film is better that the choreography of movie with a budget of over 200 million dollars

@@fabianmeyer506 if it was a 2 hour film with a bigger budget, it would make star wars fans crazy, it would be like when phantom menace came out, but the movie was actually good.
Why is it unacceptable? We live in a time where we have the gear to make this possible on a low budget. The talent has always been there, but the products to bring their visions to life weren't. That has changed, and as a budding independent film maker I don't care that a few fans with low resources can make a better clip that all what disney's empire created since they acquired the franchise.

Better than literally anything Disney has put out. Great work! The dude that played Maul completely nailed it.

It was really good, my only slight problem with it is when he saw the girl crying lying down he felt resentment in this whereas the real Darth maul wouldn't have as he is filled with the only rage and revenge. It was a really good job in the role and I don't think many people could've done better but that's just one of my small little opinions. Not taking away from the fact that it was a really good performance!
@@tylerderpface9563 I mean that's not the actor, that's the writing.
@@tylerderpface9563 I disagree. that scene contrasted Darth Maul in Phantom Menace vs Darth Maul in this film perfectly. showing how he hesitated when confronted with a helpless enemy and pressed through it.
Nice touch that when the Padawan has her 'last stand' it doesn't make her a better duelist. I always hate that in movies, suddenly your decision to stand up to the mean guy means you're a blade master when before you were mediocre.
He was clearly kicking her ass, he just wasn't hateful enough to kill her outright.
The1Floyd for real! This was the perfect mix of choreography and passionate fighting. Watching that last stand, I could feel the passion from each of her blows, but to see how useless it was says so much more about her character than to suddenly become a master on the spot. She was determined, passionate, maybe even desperate, but she was no master.
Dang! This was good!
Henry's come to see us!
@@sethsmith4250 And I find interesting that it emphasizes that this is Darth Maul's story. What is important is not how grown that padawan is in her final moments, but how Darth Maul acts when he clearly has some degree of compassion for her.
You’d be surprised what fear, desperation, and anger can bring out in people
Majority of the time when Star Wars does it the padawan is using the dark side and light without realizing it. For example obi wan vs Darth mall
Darth maul is still and will always be my favorite Star Wars character
I take this as canon.
This interpretation of Darth Maul is really faithful to the Episode 1 version. The actor's face is very expressive, while keeping a silent demeanor just like Ray Park's take on it.
Which is the correct and only true characterization for Maul. He is a man of few words tho but he makes it count. He's a silent assasin.
Les films de carte pense axluve les prtres
As skilled as Maul is, in reality I don’t think he could defeat all of these Jedi at once.
@@eliminator1472 dude, Maul would literally speedblitz them handily lmao. The dude has Hypersonic speed feats while these Jedi would cap at baseline Supersonic. Even Darth Sidious was hard pressed against him in training sessions and Darth Plagueis himself called Maul’s speed astounding, he’s in the same league of speed as them, and we’ve all seen what Sidious can do to people like Agen Kolar and Saesee Tiin. Kolar in particular being capable of stomping Quinlan Vos in a duel while he had fallen to the dark side.
‘The Zabrak’s fists and legs were as lethal as his lightsaber, and his speed was astounding.''
Source: Darth Plagueis Novel (2012)
Maul's blade is too fast to see for Dark Jedi Komari Vosa, she sees multiple attacks, despite the fact Maul is wounded from his right arm by a blaster bolt.
''Vosa had all but admitted that she was no match for the erratic staccato blows that he was delivering, seemingly from everywhere, all at once.
He swung out at her, the Dark Side streaming so powerfully from him now that itseemed to be pouring forth in great, explosive torrents. His blade was moving almost too fast to see.''
Source: Maul - Lockdown (2013)
Maul can move so fast he’s essentially invisible, even holorecordings fail to record him and they need to be played back in slow motion just to show him whatsoever.
''Then he sprang to a series of other sites that ultimately carried him to the wall of the principal building, moving with such speed the entire time that whatever holorecordings were being made wouldn't show him unless they were played in slow motion.''
Darth Maul moves faster than a droid's photoreceptor can follow.
''Maul leaped aside, moving faster than the droid's photoreceptor could follow. The droid raced past him and smashed hard against the cell wall.''
Source: Episode I Adventures 3 - The Fury of Darth Maul (1999)
Source: Darth Maul - Saboteur (2001)
Long story short, the dude is broken a f compared to these fodders.
It’s very well made and Maul’s character is captured accurately, but It wouldn’t really work with canon if you think about it. Theres no way this wouldn’t have gotten the attention of the council, only a sith or someone trained in the jedi arts could kill 5 jedi (also they have lightsaber stab wounds) but Phantom menace shows that Qui Gon’s encounter with Maul on Tatooine was the first time a sith was seen in a long time. The council was surprised and even doubted his claims.

Love how expressive maul is with just the smallest facial expressions, like when the Padawan is crying and you can see maul debating if he should kill her, or feeling pity. The discomfort with the fact that he killed the Jedi, then the evil smirk as he hears sidious compliment him. All with barely any dialogue. 10/10.

I love the rage Darth maul fights with in this. It doesn’t seem like they’re dancing it seems like they’re truly fighting to kill. Maul is fighting with so much power and rage which makes it so badass
Yeah it was great. One immersion break at the end when the camera zooms out on Maul fighting the girl and he makes a few rather useless pirouettes, but otherwise spot on.
@@johnnamkeh1290 Indeed, but it didn't look as if he needed to be serious to beat her, she was fightless and truly weak compared to Maul.
@@johnnamkeh1290 didn't feel like a immersion break imho, kinda felt like something he'd do. Just like in the phantom menace, when Maul was under pressure he fought brutally and tactically, it wasn't until he felt he had already won that he started to "play" with his opponent
It also serves a purpose for Maul; part of his fighting style, at least in Legends, was a technique known as Dun Möch, which involved taunting and breaking the opponents spirit in order to prevent concentration, crucial to using the Force effectively. By “playing” with a target, Maul is driving home their helplessness and making them feel even more helpless.
This short film is fricken incredible. Unbelievable that this is a fan film. Five stars.
That darth maul showing a split second of compassion while the apprentice was crying was incredible
Mind.Body.Soul Music what at the end?
Mind.Body.Soul Music had not Sidious been watching he would have released her. Considering his brutal past under Sidious, as he was given to him when he was a child Maul understood the young padawans fear. She like maul at one time was in over her head.
John Beck the Jedi order doesn't have zero tolerance for dark side users, they believe in redemption
They let Barriss Offee rejoin the order after she bombed a lot of people and tried to kill 2 jedi

This is amazing, darth maul deserved such a bigger role in the films.
An Anthology film would be pretty incredible to flesh out his character.
I doubt he could canonically had a bigger role due to the nature of the Sith during Phantom
Nope, he didnt. It's what makes you want to see more of him.
ScubeX lol he is coming back in the obi wan movie
The Clone Wars, Rebels and Solo fixed that.
I'm willing to accept this as canon.
No reason not to. Wonderful thing about the vague timelines in Star Wars is that all non-canon material, be it legends, fan content, etc., can perfectly fit into the chronology if you want it to. This has never been contradicted by the canon material, so while Lucasfilm will never accept it as canon, it doesn't mean you can't.
Eoinster Well I just meant that its so good that if they made it cannon I'd be alright with it.
no
Alex Gates I wish it was
We make it canon, not Lucas!
I honestly think that this Darth Maul is better than the original. Just incredible!
Some people will call me a heretic for that, but I agree, at least to some extent. I read comments saying that this Maul is acting out of character, but I think there are ways to explain it. If you compare only this Maul and the one from the Phantom Menace, this one appears to have more emotional depth, and I'm all for it. But that's just my opinion.
No
Imagine what these guys could've accomplished with Disney's budget
True that!
TRUE
The Chosen One Disney would screw thus over too
But the cgi
Greatness
This was absolutely the Best Fanfilm I have Ever seen,The Actor who played
Darth Maul is perfect look a like to Ray Parks
This Maul is my template for all other Mauls. This guy has more emotive presence than every other character and he spoke like 2 lines?
Needed some contacts that are icy like mauls
I don’t know about that, but they definitely chose a great actor for the role. As someone who seldom speaks, Maul needs to be played by someone who can emote naturally and effectively, which was executed almost perfectly throughout.

Vader beats this imo
cast this guy as darth maul and do a mandalorian style series already disney
Güneş Ünüvar 😐😐😐 there is one
Anthony Esquivel he means a mandalorian style Darth maul show
Why not cast the original Darth Maul who is still very much still capable of playing the part? Also, I thought they were making a Maul series?
Ricky Pugh are they actually making a maul series?
@@calebearnhardt8738 Yes, and Lucasfilm is making it for Disney+
VERY WELL DONE!!! Great saber choreography.
I love how they used Maul's intense, silent Phantom Menace character, it really shows how much care and thought went into this whole project. Really great stuff!
That's what I liked too. The clone wars version of him is kinda cringe. He was meant to be a silent demon.
To be fair, I am pretty sure the reason he's different is that he went insane on the garbage planet, so he lost all self control.@@cremedelamemesupreme1649
@@cremedelamemesupreme1649THANK YOU!
Actually he was never ment to be a silent character. The Actor they cast as Darth Maul Ray Park, (A Martial arts, quarter staff master. The same Actor who played 'Toad' in the original Xmen movie) did not have an intimidating voice at all. As his voice is higher pitched. So they cut almost all of Darth Maul's Voice lines and left them out, or gave them to others. The few words he speaks in the actual movie are done by a different actor they hired to voice the character.
Really interesting trivia bit their.
@jamesmartin-
That’s only half the story. The original actor wasn’t satisfied with Maul and actually quit the movie. So they quickly hired Ray Park and rewrote maul to be the silent assassin. Ray park was an excellent choice. And even recently was involved with the motion capture for Maul vs Ahsoka.
I think this is a perfect representation of how powerful Maul actually is.
Erik de Jong it really captured how he focuses more on his sword skills and acrobatic ability!
Dreadlord 7 indeed all though he did use the force to enhance his stamina, strength and speed
Erik de Jong I love how he does that honestly and just how much of a powerhouse he really is. Honestly I would use the force that way too if I could (with a little bit of force choking because force choking)
Erik de Jong well the so called Jedi in this film are terrible for Jedi.
I think this is representation how powerful someone want to Maul be. Obi wan alone kill him two times, this is the fact...
"So, this canonically takes place before Episode 1?"
"It's just a fan fil-"
"So, this canonically takes place before Episode 1."
its before episode 1 , its a prequel, before Obi wan Kinobi was a master
he was making a joke. And Obi wan isn't a master in episode 1
@@zboub7025 Well, technically they arn't wrong when they say "before Obi Wan was a master."
I head Darth Mazul survived his... misfortune, once in the canon EU, before disney fucked up...
HOW DARE YPU SAY THIS F**KING BULLS**T
Good work! Its the best fan film about Darth Maul that have I seen. good actors and dueling on lightsabers.
That masked Jedi was so boss. I wish we had more “tough” unconventional Jedi in canon.
Yeah I have to agree with you on that
Quinlan Vos and Kyle Katarn are pretty cool but it seems they've given up on the idea that you can harness both sides of the force :(
There is also mace windu
@@samgriffin4751 I was just about to say quinlan Voss! Dude's a tank
This is why legends should be canon now.
That moment when the Padawan is actually right, but the Master doesn't listen.
The arrogance of the Jedi
same with Ahsoka in some cases
Asoka clone wars flashbacks
Sums up most of the Jedi order
@@anthonykastrinakis4900 with the difference that Ahsoka would give Darth Maul a shit with Anakin.
I was so worried they were going to ruin it by having one of the Jedi live, so they can warn the republic ruining the canon. but it didn’t and makes this feel more canon than the new disney trilogy
Underrated
C’mon, can you just appreciate the film without shitting on the sequels? Why can’t Star Wars fans praise one thing without hating the other?
rivero because thatsmot how they see things. It's impossible to them
@@geraldodelrivero8982 at least this film doesn't mess with the lore alot
Geraldo Del rivero fuck the sequels
I cant praise this enough .... a true master piece
