Working on sound effects for the world of Star Wars was intriguing and challenging. It was not only because sound effects of Star Wars brought unreal creatures into life but also they are one of the greatest works in the field, which set a high standard. Everyone exposed to Star Wars knows how appealing it sounds. Furthermore, this is a game. Another level of consideration had to be put into: interaction. Thereby, my goal in this project was making sure they stay seamless even when interrupted not to mention of being vivid and dynamic.
