'Last Jedi' Debate About a "Vacuum" Sound Birthed the Best Scene

The definition of the word “vacuum” helped create the most memorable scene in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. But, director Rian Johnson had to clarify to sound designer Ren Klyce exactly what he meant when he used that word.

On Tuesday, ABC Features debuted a new documentary called The Force of Sound. Specifically focusing on the sound design for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the documentary details the organic processes by which several of the sound effects were made for the film.

And one obvious focus of the documentary was a scene in which no sound is heard at all. Both Klyce and Johnson make it clear that for a brief time, they weren’t on the same page as to what a “vacuum” sounded like.

In the documentary, Klyce admits to trying to give Johnson several versions of a “vacuum sound,” and in doing so, imitates a sucking sound, as though he was trying to emulate a vacuum cleaner. This apparently wasn’t quite what Johnson had in mind.
