Ben Burtt looked like Lucas's timid slave in the prequel documentaries. Just another yes man stroking George's ego.

I used to think the Burtt was a genius coming up with the Star Wars sounds in my youth.

He is a genius when kept to what he is good at sound design, not editing or anything else.

His work on Wall E and Star Trek were pretty good. I guess he was just giving George what he wanted.

I have a feeling on some parts George just told him to go nuts, like with the roger roger robots in menace, or the asteroid explosion in clones.
