How the Wilhelm Scream Became Iconic – Star Wars Explained #Shorts –
How did the Wilhelm Scream wind up in Star Wars? Sound designer Ben Burtt recalled the sound of a soldier named Wilhelm screaming after being struck in the leg by an arrow in the film Charge at Feather River. But he knew that it was first used as the sound of a man screaming while being eaten by an alligator in an earlier film called Distant Drums. He also knew that the sound was traditionally exclusively used by Warner Brothers. So he contacted Warner and asked if they could help him out and send him the sound of a man being eaten by an alligator. He got the sound he was looking for, used it for a stormtrooper plummeting to his death, and so it cemented itself as one of Star Wars’ most iconic and most used sounds.
