The problem with Ben Burtt is that he believes sound effects can instill emotions in a person more than music. Music is a serious emotional stimulate, but he refuses to believe it. Look at him in the "In a Minute" doco ( or what ever it is called ) on the ROTS DVD, he gets in an argument with one of the sound mixers. All because he thought that when Obi-Wan and Anikan are fighting and that big metal arm thing they are on plummets into the lava river below, he thought that you should here more sound effects than John Wlliam's score. He actually pouted when he didn't get it exactly like he wanted it. He almost made that scene worse than it was. I wonder how many other times he ruined scenes emotionally that could have been fantastic had he not tracked music over John William's score?
