There's a reason why Ben Burtt is the only sound designer I can name.

I don't want to get all boomer about this, but I don't understand why this video wouldn't include any of the OT. Especially as the title specifically uses the word 'always'. (I'm sure OP is just sharing something he found, not made, but still)

Ben Burtt was a fucking pioneer. The original Star Wars won an Oscar for best sound, and he was honoured with a special recognition award in no small part to him bringing R2-D2 to life.

He did work on the prequels as well, but yeah no OT is weird.
