    Dunno if this topic has been done before but I'm interested to know what everyone's favourite sounds from Star Wars are? Not the music but the actual sound effects in the franchise wheather it's the roar of a Wookiee or the footsteps of an imperial walker.

    Mine are:

    1. Any sound from a Wookiee
    2. TIE Fighters
    3. R2-D2

    The AT-AT/Droideka laser sound effect is one of my favourites.

    Now that I think about it, I can't really choose one, they're all very good and unique.

    1. Lightsaber
    2. Jawas talking ("Utinii!")
    3. R2-D2
    Runner ups: Just can't resist liking the X-Wing Blaster, Wookie and the Thermal Detonator (i.e. Hand Grenade) sounds.

    Least Favourites:
    1. Geonosian Gun Sounds (You know those "GAGALOURRR-like" sounds)
    2. Geonosian Language
    3. Jar Jar Binks voice (Does that count?)

    All of them are great though.

    The idle hum and clashing sounds of the OT lightsabers were always my favorite.

    What does a Gonk Droid say after "Gonk. Gonk."? There's a little bit of garbly talk.

    You pretty much covered it. Vader sounds ominous. The Tie Fighters are frightening. As to those seismic charges, it's just so weird and interesting. Jango Fett is one lethal man. And any sound R2 makes will tell you all you need to know how about how he's feeling.

    Who knew breathing could be so scary. The Tie Fighters are frighting. Seismic charges? Silence and then bam! Eargasm. R2! So many sounds.

    Um, all of them. But just to pick a few at random:

    • Jawa background jabber
    • Zam Wessell's howling airspeeder
    • Sedious' revealing Sith scream
    • TT-8L/Y7 speaking Huttese: "Coochoo wonky mit-bee casa? Ha ha ha!"

    I always thought the Jawas sounded like they were saying, "Doo-fee-bee!" Zam did a very distinctive speeder in terms of sound. He was a heck of a lot better at running away than killing anyone. Lol. Yeah, and Sidious was freaky when he snarled. I think they used the same sound for Sidious's scream in Yoda's vision. Poor Yoda!

    I know that this dude, Larry Ward, performed the voices of Greedo and Jabba. He made Greedo sound full of himself and smarmy, which was rather amusing. He sounded frightening, authoritative, and dangerous as Jabba. It's the creepiest "ho ho ho ho ho!" you'll ever hear! Ward was a linguist who developed Huttese.
