From background aliens to some of the biggest stars in the universe, TALKING BAY 94 will be trying to talk to them all, every Wednesday.
Explore the creation of the iconic sounds of Star Wars and the genius innovation of Ben Burtt. Step through the process of recreating these sounds we've come to love and see what goes on behind the scenes of a sound designer.
