I really liked the Boga ang thought they did a great job with the CGI... but you are right that sound was terribly annoying.... and it just wouldnt shut up.. it was squealing the entire time it was on screen

Boga sound... I knew the ANH one changed, didn't actually think it was THE Boga. Good planning for continuality, I guess. Boga could've been improved I think in the movie... but eh, can't have your cake and eat it. Whatever that means.

I also thought that Boga looked awsume but was quite annouying to listen to.

i loved the sound that it made. and although both the boga, and the sound obi wan makes are both a kind of "whoooooop" sound... i dont think its the same "call" or same animal noise or whatever.... cause, why would that scare the sand people? do they know of utapau and how there are bogas? do they travel all over the galaxy? and why would they ybe scared anyway of that? if it was in fact a boga scream...

Hmmm...this could be a good call. Congrats if it is!

Thank you

I noticed straight away in the cinema but then i remembered from the novals that the sound was that of a kryt dragon (the skeleton we see in the background on tatooine in ANH?)

I never noticed the change on the DVD at the time though! cool!

Sorry, everyone...

I just did a direct comparison of the Boga sound from Episode 3 and the Kenobi call from Episode 4, and, at least to my ear, they don't sound similar enough to support my earlier theory.
Ah well, back to being annoyed about the DVD change... 🙁

But judge for yourself:
(you'll have to save the files and rename them to .mp3, since the hosting site doesn't allow mp3 files)

Wow, they are the same

Well, similar, but not really the same. And not similar enough for my ears...
But I'm reserving final judgment until I hear an official statement by Lucas or Ben Burtt about it.

Bogus Boga thats funny! 😂

That thing was so annoying.

Oh I loved Boga! cry

has anyone got an mp3 of the original kryt dragon call? he must of changed it for a reason..

I'll try putting up the pre-Special Edition sound later tonight...

boga was big, alive, and fast wat more do you want?

any luck with that mp3 yet twelveofsix?

Sorry, almost forgot.

Anyway, here they all are again, no saving and renaming required this time.

I still think it is boga, what other reason would they change it. Bur it is up for debate as is most crap in SW. 😛

Nice one sixoftwelve. I never realised they had changed that part until now. Did the change take place on the original special edition or the DVD version? It has to be boga.

it's the sound of a Krayt dragon
