Sound designer Ben Burtt is responsible for some of the most iconic sounds in film. Most notably in the Star Wars franchise. This includes R2-D2’s voice, Darth Vader’s breathing, blasters, and, of course, the lightsaber.
This lightsaber clip has been shared all over the web. Consequently I don’t know the source. But it’s fascinating.
The Al-Naslaa Rock dates back more than 4,000 years ago
Darth Vader era. Because that's clearly a #lightsaber#fight remnant by the untrained hands of a Padawan.

A loooooong time ago, I consulted folks here about what a "real #lightsaber" could be, and I finally got a great answer from a physicist friend of mine: a Maxwell's demon. I don't have a great name for it yet, so in the WIP, they're "Maxwell swords," but anyway. I am proud to the point of smugness that instead of inventing a sci-fi appearance for them whole cloth, I'm saying they're surrounded by a heat haze and you can smell their heat. It's so sensory. I love it.
They stood opposite each other in the hold of an old Imperial hauler, ditched in the jungle thirty years earlier after the second Death Star fell and the Empire with it. But there were still Sith and Jedi. The force made that inevitable.

A while ago a bought a toy lightsaber from LGT. On of the options is you choose which "soundboard" you want, to control the sound effects and light effects. I chose LGT's "Xeno3" soundboard. Well, I quickly learned that doing things like changing the volume or blade color on a Xeno3 lightsaber is based around holding the button for a certain number of LED blinks. BUT THIS MODEL DOESN'T HAVE AN LED, making it very difficult to use. So I drilled a hole and added one. #starwars#lightsaber
