Because for the first 20 years of the Star Wars universe, the forces for the Empire or what would have been the end of the Republic used Microphones when they spoke. When Luke talked without it, it sounded muffled. When the Clones talk without it, it doesn't. So, instead of feeling disconnected from the Stormtroopers they originally would have become, you throw in that little sound and people, conciously or not 'feel' like they are watching a Star Wars movie.

The Star Wars feel is those little things that when you hear them in every day life, you instantly recognize them. Or when you hear a sound or a piece of music in a film, it instantly brings you back to Star Wars. ADM brings the 'Star Wars' feel to TPM when he inserts some classic cues into the POD race. When the two Imperial fighters fly by at the end of ROTS and they make the same sound as the TIE fighters flying by, that is the Star Wars feel. Just little things that Ben Burtt, John Williams, and George Lucas did that made the films unique and burned them into our pop culture minds.

So, no..it isn't a big deal, but it's one of those things you don't notice at first, but on further watching you begin to think "Huh, that's weird".

so your saying that someone talking muffled behind a helmit is the starwars feeling.

We sit here day in and day out talking about all the tiny little particulars of Star Wars.

Someone brings up one question about stormtroopers and all of a sudden people are jumping out of the wood working shouting that we've gone to far.

Funny stuff.



i'm always jumping on people for pointing out little particulars

Just an idea I thought of a coordinated effort to inform SW forum members of the OOT preservation efforts

this site has nothing to do with that, it is completely independant of it, and jay has warned people to not talk about it on here, so i suggest they dont.

Let me contribute!

I'm also 19, loved TPM when it came out and came to realise over the years that it wasn't that great. But I've matured FURTHER, and accepted that the original movies weren't perfect either. Let's face it, movies inherently suck. You've just got to accept that basic fact and decide not to focus on the fact that The Red Sea parting looks hokey, or the fact that in front of Gandalf's 'heroic charge' is some blatant Adobe CLONE STAMPING, or the fact that Anakin's knife doesn't accurately chop up his CG Pear, or the fact that Bruce Willis' gun never runs out of ammo until the worst possible moment...


Jeeze! You don't have to defend the movies, and you don't have to defend your liking them, or even your right to like them. They're just a bunch of images and sound played concurrently, and believe it or not whether or not they suck or are great is ACTUALLY dependent on the person. A perfect movie (and I've been shown quite a few of those, and nearly always think they suck) would have everyone agreeing that it's perfect. Personal opinion would not come down to it - this movie (the hypothetical perfect one) would cross all barriers of taste and criticism and simply be the best. It doesn't exist and it never will, which basically means if you show a good movie and a bad movie to a rock, they'll recieve the same reception - Total Silence.

This means that there is no good movie, and no bad movie. It's all in your head.

I can't deny I like some movies more than others (among my favoured movies are "You Can't Stop the Murders", "Napoleon Dynamite", "The Princess Bride" "Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars"), but at least I can accept that these preferences are my qualities/failings alone. They are not the fault of the filmmaker.
