- It was created by taking the noise of a screaming elephant sampled from the 1958 Errol Flynn adventure movie Roots Of Heaven and combining it with the “swoosh” of a car driving on wet pavement. Burtt said he gave the sound to the TIE Fighters because he had no other alternative, and when his colleagues flipped for it, it stayed in.

The AT-AT walkers are one of the most iconic vehicles in Star Wars, and the lumbering of the walkers headed to destroy Echo Base is a significant part of what makes the Battle of Hoth so good. To create the sound of the slow, menacing Imperial vehicle's joints walking through the Hoth snow, Burtt used a sound very locally sourced. It came from a du...
Sticking with The Empire Strikes Back and the many iconic sounds to come from the Hoth part of the movie, the Tauntaun is an instantly recognizable creature for all fans. The Tauntaun may not be the cutest creature in Star Wars, but to create the memorable sound effect, Burtt turned to an adorable Asian Sea Otter. With the animal giving a high-pitc...
Design-wise, General Grievous is undoubtedly one of the most intimidating looking villains in Star Wars–even if he is not the most powerful villain–with his look, voice, and of course, cough, being well remembered by fans. It seems obvious that Grievous' cough is just that, a cough. However, it was not created by way of any old cough. The cough was...
First introduced in A New Hope, the Jawa's are one of the most mysterious yet recognizable species in Star Wars, being a prominent part of the franchise. The Jawa's speak their own language of Jawaese, and to create the sound of the Jawa language, Burtt turned to the real language of Zulu. He had actors re-voice scripts he wrote out of from recordi...
There are so many iconic ships in the Star Wars franchise, but few are as loved as Slave 1, a big part of Boba Fett's badass factorin the original trilogy. The sound of the ship is another distinctive Star Wars sound. To create the sound of its take-off, Burtt combined his own 1971 Dodge Duster's horn and the whine of a trumpet, an odd mix of brass...
The Death Star is a massive space station (not a moon) filled to the brim with technology, so Burtt used pretty much every technological sound at his disposal to create the ambient noises in the backgrounds of those scenes.

Some people have a lot of resentment towards the prequel trilogy, but just about every fan can agree that the Pod Race was one of the best and most exciting sequences. To give each pod racer their own individual personality, Burtt used the sounds of real preexisting fast cars such as Mustangs and Porsches, then used sound sympathizers and sound cho...
Tusken Raiders, desert marauders of the planet Tatooine, are quite a terrifying foe, albeit one of Star Wars' most beloved alien species, especially when they first appeared attacking a young Luke Skywalker.

Being one of the most famous space crafts in all of science fiction, the Millennium Falcon’s certainly has its fair share of noises to choose from, such as laser cannons and co-pilot roars, but one of the more unique effects is that of the hyperdrive, more specifically its failure to launch. If there is one reliable thing about the Falcon, it's its...
Another scary sound of the saga is the shriek of the villainous TIE-Fighters flying by. However, the noise of these machines was almost a happy accident, as Burtt was actually attending to use the noise for something else, most likely a laser weapon. It was created by taking the noise of a screaming elephant sampled from the 1958 Errol Flynn advent...
