We all know the Wilhelm scream occurs here:

But there's also a scream right here as this droid falls into space:

It sounds a little longer than the Wilhelm scream, but its awfully close, too close to sound like just a coincidence. Was this something GL did deliberately?

Probably.. why not? He did multiple instances in Episode I.

Cool. I didn't know that... I never paid as much attention to Episode I and II for the Wilhelm screams. In fact, I don't even know where they are in those episodes, I never analyzed those films so tediously, in the same fashion I like to analyze Ep III.

I heard the Wilhelm scream in King Kong (2005) during the brontosaurus stampede. I remember hearing it in "ROTJ" if I recall correctly. During the Battle over the "Pit of Carkoon". But I've heard that scream many times though.

wat is the Wilhelm Scream???

It's a scream that is used in MANY movies, SW, LOTR...ALOT of movies.

It's high-pitched and rather short. Noone knows who recorded it, and I think almost every SW movie has at least one use of it.

its a scream, but not a wilhelm scream

I think one of the guards on Padme's transport in AOTC gave the scream when the ship blew.

It was recorded from the soundtrack of the first film to use it...I don't remember what, but someone was being eaten by an alligator.

"In 1951, the Warner Bros. film "Distant Drums" directed by Raoul Walsh starred Gary Cooper as Captain Quincy Wyatt, who leads a group of soldiers to stop some Seminole Indians from threatening settlers in early 19th Century Florida. During a scene in which the soldiers are wading through a swamp in the everglades, one of them is bitten and dragged underwater by an alligator."


-History of the Wilhelm Scream

Any reason why it's called "Wilhelm?"

Either has to do with the movie or the man who recorded it.

*reads article*

It was first made famous by a certain Private Wilhelm in another cowboy movie after it's initial use; he gets shot in the leg with an arrow.
