Ben Burtt

Burtt pioneered modern sound design, especially in the science-fiction- and fantasy-film genres. Before his work in the first Star Wars in 1977, science-fiction films tended to use electronic-sounding effects for futuristic devices. He sought a more natural sound, blending in "found sounds" to create the effects. For exmple the lightsaber hum was derived from a film projector idling combined with feedback from a broken television set, and the blaster effect started with the sound acquired from hitting a guy-wire on a radio tower with a wrench.

He is personally responsible for some of the sounds heard in films. In the Star Wars series, part of R2-D2's beeps and whistles are Burtt's vocalizations, also made using an ARP 2600 synthesizer, as are some of the squawks made by the tiny holographic monsters on the Millennium Falcon spacecraft. In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, he provides the voice for Lushros Dofine, captain of the Invisible Hand cruiser. The heavy-breathing of Darth Vader was created by recording his own breathing in an old Dacor scuba regulator.
