I rewatched the star wars trilogy lately and I realized that the only reason I still enjoy them is because of how amazing the sound design is. In fact, I am convinced the only reason star wars is iconic is because of its audio. There are so many clever sound design decisions that are actually mind blowing when you think about it. Consider the tie fighter, or the AT-AT walking, or even the retarded r2-d2 bleeps. We can have an entire thread of our favorite random sound design choices because every decision was masterful and immersive and there really are not many movies like it. And of course, the OST. Lightning in a bottle, and really only Shore's compares to it in scope. What are some examples of modern cinema with care to sound design like in Star Wars? Dune was good and professional but it was way too forced, plus the modern film cliche of overusing sub bass is infuriating.
>>219803745You know the cool little detail that always sticks with me? When the Rebel squadrons pass through the Death Star’s shields and you can hear their coms quality drop. It really sells the whole scene.
>>219803745>really only Shore's compares to it in scope.There's a movie called Shore with a better soundtrack?
>>219803935Howard Shore, Lord of the Rings
This scene is absurdly comfy to listen to with high quality head phones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvaxI4hK45c

>>219803745I've been saying for literal decades what the OT had that people loved was costumes, fx, sound design. The story was always nothing, which is why in an era with rampant fx and where the look and sound of SW is old hat, there doesn't seem to be anything they can do to revive interest in the IP.
The dark knight
>>219803745WallE because it's just the same guy doing all the sound for the first half of the movie
>>219806926Yeah, that's the guy in the OP
