Ben Burtt (former ILM Skywalker Sound and "father" of the lightsaber) talks to the R2 Builders Club at C4. Ben also mentions in his talk how he was impressed with Jim Shima (of Hyperdyne Labs) for inventing the interactive light saber performance tool. This is certainly one of our shining moments, as Ben has been one of our idols and influences over the years. We cant believe we made this kind of positive impression on someone of Ben's stature in the film community!

r2d2's voice is electronically beautiful. and yes those human elements added an organic touch to R2 that made him uniquely perfect. the only computer we all truly love.:P
I was lucky enough to tag along to Jim's 45 minute private meeting with the Godfather of sound design. Keep in mind that Jim gave Ben Burtt his prototype sound device before anybody else was on the block. I believe right after C2.
