    That was fantastic! Amazing camerawork and fight choreography.As far as im concerned this story was canon!

    Why couldnt TFA be as good as this with their huge budget? That final Kylo/Rey duel looks REALLY poor now compared to what this fan film managed.

    Finally got around to watching this after having heard so much about it - I liked it. I liked a lot!
    The effects were pretty decent, but nothing spectacular, the acting was pretty good, the cinematography ranged between "good" and "****ing awesome!", and the choreography was quite possibly the best I've ever seen in a fan film!
    My favorite part was the Spaghetti Western standoff at the end before the last part of the duel - wonderfully shot, scored and edited!

    I'll certainly watch this many more times in the future.

    I thought it was great. The making of really shows they put some money into this.

    Its nice to see a light saber fight where they are actually swinging with intent.

    I really enjoyed this one - makeup for Maul was spot on, and although at times there were some dips in the combat, it was very solid. Only complaint was Sidious voice, but the hologram looks great and they were working with what they had.

    Solid 9/10

    This was absolutely astounding, better than the fight choreography than in TFA!

    What on earth are Di$ney and Luca$film doing, when here we have people who can make more enjoyable films than them. WIth al the billions of dollars behind them, Di$ney have taken us all for a ride with that underwhelming peice TFA.

    I'd suggest the following action plan for Lucasfilm, if they still have any creativity in them:

    - Di$ney and Luca$film to start talks with the makers of this film, with the view to making it canon in the form of a feature length film set just before the events of TPM. This would justifiably bring back Darth Maul with his own film and be credible in terms of canon. The makers of thsi got it just right as the Jedi did not inform the Council that they discovered Maul.
    - Di$ney and Luca$film to meet with the director and bring him in.
    - Kasdan, Kennedy, Hidalgo, Abrams and the others ot get off their high horses and reach out to these people.

    Rian Johnson - are you watching?!
