Check out this awesome fan film that focuses on the horned Sith Lord that made his mark (albeit briefly) in 1999's Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The lightsaber duels, visual effects and cinematography are top-notch...with actor Ben Schamma doing a great job capturing Ray Park's mannerisms and fighting skills from The Phantom Menace in Darth Maul: Apprentice. If this isn't a worthy calling card for writer/director Shawn Bu and his crew in regards to getting involved in the production of the actual Star Wars movies themselves, I don't know what is! I wonder if Star Wars: Episode VIII director Rian Johnson and/or Episode IX helmer Colin Trevorrow had the time to watch this film... Probably not Johnson (since online reports state that he should be shooting Episode VIII scenes in Dubrovnik, Croatia soon), but most likely Trevorrow. That is all.
