You take for instance the Krayat dragon call. That’s one of the sand people not a Krayat Dragon, Obi-wan is not making that sound… It is absurd to think so. it’s probably just missing the close up of a tuskan raider reacting to the old man approaching.

What are you even going on about. Of course that was Obi-wan that made the howl. Are you insinuating that Tusken Raiders are so dumb they spook themselves?

No.

If you watch the scene the Tuskan Raiders turn and then you hear the noise start. Then we cut to Old Ben Kenobi waving his arms about.

It is not cut to Ben and that noise starts.

Believe what you want I don’t mind but the sound effect in all 3 versions (I prefer the original sound) does not sound like it is made in that environment. It is a raw sample with no environment manipulation to sound distant or anything like it is coming from the place that we are watching in the film. And it is simply loud in volume and raw and has no relationship really to anything else we hear from that environment. I looked at the novel description and it does indeed say it’s Obiwan making that noise but I got to say I think it’s a bit weird. It would be better to have actually had a Krayat dragon scare the sand people away and then Obiwan lumbers over the hill as the Dragon makes chase to the Tuskan Raiders.

Anyway I have been watching the making of Star Wars today (documentary). There are blue screen shots of tie fighters been blown apart… Not once can I remember a tie fighter being blown apart it was always covered by an explosion. And they snap cut from the debris flying off or the tie fighters breaking apart. They did do this for the rebel ships though. Now that’s a good idea for a special edition. Restore the tie fighters being blown up.
