If I'm not mistaken the (first) Death Star's explosion isn't heard over the background music, right? Anyway, I think more people would have issues with TIE fighter sounds and their Doppler effect...ah, I mean quantum leap sound.
- FeepingCreature 7y agoHeadcanon: there's a detailed audio library and specification for events in space maintained by the Space Sound Simulation Consortium (S3C) on Coruscant that defines a universal standard for how to render sensor readings as noise. Audio is a high-bandwidth data channel built into the human brain, there's no way military craft would not take advantage of it to convey information to the pilot. (Such as whether enemy ships are flying towards or away from you...)
- ladyattis 7y agoNo there was an explosion sound but it more of a generic thundercrack kind of muffled sound.
- shantly 7y agoYou could hear it IIRC. The soundtrack was relatively muted, building up tension before the explosion (mostly some lightish kettle drum I think? "Stand by" Bum bum, bum "Stand by" [exterior shot] BOOM) and even after is mostly a kind of light tinkly thing, no bombast.
- ShamelessC 7y agoYou can hear it in this clip. Not sure if this is the original 1977 version or if they've changed it since then though. https://youtu.be/qniy8aDSFLA?t=29 https://youtu.be/qniy8aDSFLA?t=29
