10 Unbelievable Origins Of Iconic Star Wars Sound Effects

3. Sarlacc - Alligators And Tummy Rumbles

The Sound Effect: When pig guards and dog-squealing rancors weren't up to the task, Jabba The Hutt's torturous execution of choice was the Sarlacc that resided in the Great Pit of Carkoon. One of the most formidable Star Wars creatures despite (or maybe because) only getting a few peeks at its gaping/beaked mouth, the sarlacc very nearly gobbled up Luke, Han and Lando, but instead had to settle with the most incompetent/bad-ass bounty hunter in the galaxy. Only adding to the enigma were its squeals, incredibly high pitch and completely against the its vast size (seriously, that thing's massive). The Crazy Origin: Few sounds are as crazy as this one. The base effect is that of an alligator hissing (another animal whose call that doesn't fit), but this is mixed with the sound of some of the film's crew's stomachs having just eaten (pizza of all things). How Burtt decided to do that is anybodies guess, although it does explain the other strange sound the sarlacc makes; the burp was probably just a burp.
