I thought the ktch noise was the other trooper initializing his radio.
Yeah, that was the other possibility but the timing makes me lean toward it being the helmet impact. Sounds just like their armor as well.

Not a chance. Nobody noticed it, and if they did, they hoped the audience wouldn’t because they’d be focused on Threepy. So it just snuck into the film as an Easter egg.
Yeah, I can’t watch the movie without that line in it. It’s my favorite gag in the film.
It, along with the stormtrooper bashing his head off the door only to later have the sound effect added.
Did they really do this?
I remember the first time I noticed that guy smack his helmed forehead, probably on approx. my 75th viewing of the film.
Ever since, I can’t see anything else.
God that actor musta felt like an asshole. It probably really hurt—he hits that shit pretty hard!Yeah, the sound was added in for the 2004 DVD release to tie in with another gag that ties back into this one. In AotC, they made a callback to this by having Jango Fett bang his head on the door of Slave I. And so now the comedy is that Jango’s clumsy DNA got into the Stormtrooper vats! Har har har!
Wow. Seriously? I mean, there was always a comlink sound that coincided with the poor guy cracking his bucket.
What I never realized after decades of missing “Close the blast doors!” on the home video releases is that it’s on the Story of Star Wars.
