What's That Sound?
Find out how each sound effect was created
-
The sound of the TIE Fighter was created by taking the noise of a screaming elephant, sampled from the 1958 Errol Flynn adventure movie, Roots Of Heaven, and stretching it to make the sound longer.
-
Ben Burtt was out hiking when his backpack got stuck on a guy wire (a tensioned cable designed to add stability to a free-standing structure). The sound of his backpack suddenly pulling away was the original recording he used for the laser blaster - although lots of effects were added in post-production to create the final sound.
-
Many animals were combined to create the sound of Chewbacca, including bears, lions, badgers, and a walrus. Lots of different recordings and vocalisations from the animals were spliced together to create the alien language we all recognise as Chewie.
