I might be hearing things but is this sound at 3.31 a wookie growl?

Listen carefully for the aaarrrrgghh.

Now it’s either something that sounds quite a bit like a Wookie or it is a Wookie?

What do you think?

I have pondered that it might be an imperial Wookie trolling over the intercom behind the airlock door 😃

I hear what you mean. Yeah it’s possible that Ben Burt mixed the same donkey brays that was much of Chewie’s dialogue in at a low volume to flesh out the sound. Sound designers often mix lion roars etc. into explosions to add menace. That’s probably all that it is. Still, I like your version better. I can just picture a Wookiee DJ with some headphones and a wicked 1977 afro wailing on the microphone. 😛

What can you get a Wookiee for (Life Day) Christmas when he already owns a comb?

imperial wookie with a helmet on 😉

he’s the engineer who cut’s the door open 😃

but yeah like you said it’s donkey brays or something…

I also got to thinking Ben Burrt had to remix this part because stuff got moved about for whatever reason so it might have been an angry growl… Just think about how many times the soldiers are simply looking around…

Which may I add Ben Burt does an amazing job of covering this but there was quite a bit more to that part rather than looking about all the time.
