Heh... if you were on JWFan.net, they'd kill you for that "one of the other sound mixers."
That happens to be Kenneth Wannberg. He was supervisor of the music mixing of nearly every (if not every) John William's film since 'Tom Sawyer'...and including the OT.
lol... so you'd have to imagine he has quite a bias when it comes to this sort of thing.
It is kinda sad that he feels that way, but you do have to remember, Star Wars is the reason we have surround sound these days. Fantasia-sound was too expensive, although it was the forefather of it... Star Wars really made it worth-while for theatres t have and films to utilize so I'd imagine there is some sense of Pride in that as well for Ben Burtt although, in all fairness, I feel the sound design/editing to the star wars is below par.
Yes, he won an award. Yes he made the lightsaber sounds ... wopdie shit. lol
But if you listen to just one channel.. like... say the center channel on ANH... say... when Luke asks his uncle owen if he can "go to the academy this year." The edits between both takes and live vs re-record, not to mention Aunt Beru's voice... it's sooo obvious.
And the Rancor sound from ROTJ... it's an elephant. They didn't even BOTHER to change the sound. It's just a normal elephant sound.
and there are a dozen examples of this where it's like they didn't try...
Oh well...
Anyways!
