Timeline

2009

While speaking at London's National Film Theatre in 2009, he disclosed that the alien gibberish spouted by the Mos Eisley spy Garindan/Long Snoot in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) was actually the processed voice of John Wayne.

2005

June 2005: Left his long-term job at Lucasfilm to work for the spin-off company, Pixar.

2004

Received an honorary doctorate from Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania on May 9, 2004. He was a 1970 graduate of the college, where he majored in physics.

1981

To create the rumbling sound of the gigantic boulder in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), he placed a microphone close to the tire of his Honda Civic as it coasted slowly down his gravel driveway. The recording was later engineered at various speeds to best replicate the rolling boulder.

1977

Burtt created the voices and sounds for the aliens and droids of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) and the voice of E.T. To come up with Chewbacca's voice, he went to a zoo, but that day did not find what he wanted. Later, at an animal farm, a bear's growls provided the basis for Chewbacca's speech, and Burtt added to that the barks, growls, and whimpers of dogs and lions. He was finally satisfied when he went to Marineland, in California, and recorded a walrus, which was moaning because its pool had been drained for cleaning.

1975

Graduated in 1975 from the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts with a Master of Fine Arts degree in film production.

1938

His favourite sound is the famous "Arrow" sound from The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). He has used it in almost all of the Star Wars films, and almost every other film he has worked on.
