    Wish they would fix the Falcon’s quad-cannon sound- it sounded cooler in the OT.

    10 bucks says this doc won’t remotely cover how in the Disney transition Ben Burtt was basically demoted to managing the sound library at Skywalker Ranch and was barely even consulted for sound on TFA/TLJ, despite being the most qualified person in the history of film to tackle it.

      Why was he demoted? I just assumed he didn’t want the job on the films anymore.

          I’ve got my fingers crossed for J.J. requesting him back.

            Why on earth would they oust such a GEM of a TALENT??? I just don’t understand the world anymore when a company can look past PROVEN TALENT like him ??

            Overzealous fans here are in complete denial about this, but that is just how it is in a corporate environment like that, they don’t want anyone that independent having that much control over their films.

            A corporate environment doesn’t want a PROVEN, award winning Sound talent with decades of hit films? Gotcha.

            I’ll bet John Williams is happy. I’m not taking sides, but rumor has it that he and Ben used to fight for control of the volume knob.

          Thanks for posting that, I had no idea. It sounds to me as if he pissed some higher-ups off. He says “No bad blood that he’s aware of” but you don’t go trash-talking the current “regime” unless you’re at odds with them. I’m sure he knows a lot more than he’s letting on. My guess is that he was unwilling to work in tandem with other people and wanted more control. That kind of thing won’t fly with Disney.

            It was more about doing things in an authentic manner. He’s used to seeing the dailies, and then inventing the sounds to match — he’s not just audio minded, he’s visual too. But Disney just wanted to assign him to the sound library to vaguely develop sounds for future use, which is sorta creatively stifling. That’s a shitty thing to do to an artist, especially a pioneer in the field.
