How heavy is a lightsaber? From what I'm told, a lightsaber usually weighs about 10 pounds. It doesn't seem like a lot until you have it around for hours. Obviously, the bigger the lightsaber, the more it weighs, which most likely explains why Kylo Ren fights like his weighs a ton. Is there a real lightsaber? The Lasersaber is a real-life lightsaber. Wicked Lasers has made a real-life lightsaber. And yes, you can buy it. What does a TIE fighter sound like?
Sound designer Ben Burtt created the distinctive TIE fighter sound effect by combining an elephant call with a car driving on wet pavement. In the book The Sounds of Star Wars, the engine roar is likened to German Junker Ju 87 "Stuka" bombers, who used sirens to frighten civilians on raids. How did they make the Blaster sound in Star Wars?
Ben Burtt, a sound designer who worked on the Star Wars films, came up with the sound of blaster fire during a family backpacking trip in the Pocono Mountains in Burtt hit the guy-wire of an AM radio transmitter tower with a hammer and recorded the sound with a microphone close to the impact. The Death Star is a massive space station not a moon filled to the brim with technology, so Burtt used pretty much every technological sound at his disposal to create the ambient noises in the backgrounds of those scenes.
Using motors, weird electronic tones, and loops of sound played forwards and backward through rhythm chambers, due to the sheer size of the vessel, Burtt found he could pretty much justify any interesting sound in the mix. Some people have a lot of resentment towards the prequel trilogy, but just about every fan can agree that the Pod Race was one of the best and most exciting sequences.
To give each pod racer their own individual personality, Burtt used the sounds of real preexisting fast cars such as Mustangs and Porsches, then used sound sympathizers and sound choppers to give them the sci-fi edge. Tusken Raiders, desert marauders of the planet Tatooine, are quite a terrifying foe, albeit one of Star Wars' most beloved alien species , especially when they first appeared attacking a young Luke Skywalker. As well as their scary physical appearance, the Sand People have a famous, nightmare-inducing battle cry.
So what created this haunting, nightmarish shriek? The sound of a braying donkey. Altered to various speeds and pitches, not so fearful. If there is one reliable thing about the Falcon, it's its lack of reliability, and the sad groans of the engines failing to leap into light speed were made by a collection consisting of a dentist's air jet, a bi-plane, and arc light motor starting and stopping, the motor noise of a tanks gun turret and the sound of a broken sink in the studio's bathroom.
Another scary sound of the saga is the shriek of the villainous TIE-Fighters flying by. However, the noise of these machines was almost a happy accident, as Burtt was actually attending to use the noise for something else, most likely a laser weapon. Burtt said he gave the sound to the TIE Fighters because he had no other alternative, and when his colleagues flipped for it, it stayed in.

The fame of the Star Wars trilogy and the many more modern Star Wars movies was, not surprisingly, followed by a wake of almost-real lightsaber replicas and toys.
Naturally, these toys had to seem authentic, with real lights and, of course, the beloved energy of the lightsaber sound. Technology has advanced dramatically since the first Star Wars movies and the first toys to pop out in the market. These three work together to produce the lightsaber sound at the will of the person who wields the toy.
Lightsabers have their own place in history. Knowing the facts behind their iconic sounds gives fans another reason to love them.
