Can someone tell me the reason Jaina and Jacen gave in one of the Troy Denning books (I think)?

It was a bad joke. Dont know exactly what it was.

thanks.

That's good question. I also wonder why Thai chicks have screaming orgasms.

Naw, just kidding. I don't know the answer to that joke cuz I never read that book. To be honest, I really don't like post-ROTJ EU.

They made that sound for the TIE's by combining an elephant trumpeting and tires on a rainy freeway.

Maybe it's supposed to the sound of the engines.

Maybe it's a threatric effect added for the benefit of movie watchers.

It was because the Rebels are after them(the joke) but Jaina's reason was because the sound waves carry through the exhaust the engine makes.

Disgusting even if you were joking.

Excellent, thanks.

Bingo.

When the original Star Trek first aired and they were creating the opening sequence--where the Enterprise zooms by our point of view--in the interest of technical accuracy, there was no swoosh sound. Roddenberry (who very much insisted on believability) found the sequence theatrically dead. So he responded to the meta-reality of Trek being a TV show and told his people to add the sound effect. Made the scene much more "alive."

We are terrestrial creatures. When something zips past us, we expect a sound. The only movie I can think of at the moment which left out any sounds, but still made for great scenes, was 2001 a space odyssey (their technique was to substitue music for sounds).

Yeah, I remember that. Other sci fi series and movies use sound effects for theatrical purposes.

Jacen: Because they miss their mothership.
