As content creators, it can be a fun and easy trend to get involved with, so we put a list together of our top 10 assets you can use in your videos to give them a Star Wars look and feel.

Skywarriors

If you’re looking for Star Wars music, you can’t get much closer than Skywarriors by Tilman Sillescu. This fast-paced and dramatic track gives you over two minutes of glorious brass, percussion, and strings.

The classic scores of John Williams span Superman, Indiana Jones, E.T., Jurassic Park, and Star Wars; as different as each one is, they are all full of wonder, hope, and adventure. Tilman’s incredible track takes inspiration from all of them, and it’s an audio love letter to the works of John Williams.

Shoot – Laser Gunshots, Crossfire

Blasters and Lightsabers are a big part of Star Wars, and their sound effects are instantly recognizable to the fandom as they have distinct and unique sounds. This set of Laser Whooshes wouldn’t sound out of place in a frantic battle in Andor or The Mandalorian.

From narrative film to fun social updates and stories, these cool and recognizable laser sounds are ideal for highlighting actions, jokes, or transitional movements in your projects. Check out Boom’s SFX collection if you’re looking for more laser, warp, or explosion effects.

Desert, Sand Dune Blowing

From the unforgiving lands of Tatooine to the treacherous climate of Jakku, Star Wars has no shortage of barren sandscapes, and this clip is the perfect mix of dry emptiness with dusty sand.

Shot by Jorden Hatfield, the clip is part of the more extensive Middle Eastern Desert Collection. Unsurprisingly, these clips give a Star Wars feel, as many scenes from the sequel trilogy were shot in the Abu Dhabi Rub’ al Khali desert.

Teleportation – Sci-Fi Engines On

Be it a Podracer firing up, an X-Wing taking off, or the legendary Millennium Falcon majestically soaring through The Kessel Run, the call to adventure often starts with an engine. 

This 5 Engine On sound effects set is full of low rumble sound, creating scale while feeling high-tech and futuristic. You can also use these SFX to add audio cues to your podcasts, animations, or creative sci-fi projects.

Talking Robots – Little Droid Scanning, Beeping

The boops, beeps, and chirps from droids R2-D2 and BB-8 are as iconic as any lightsaber hum or force push whoosh. Star Wars is littered with original robotic characters, each with a distinct voice and personality.

The little droid scanning sound gives the sense of a cute and friendly robot that can be crafted into its own robotic language. The more extensive Talking Robots collection from Systematic Sound includes over 45 unique voices and effects to build entire droid conversations.
