The origin of Skywalker Sound can be traced back to 1975, when George Lucas and
Gary Kurtz hired Ben Burtt, a young graduate of the USC
School of Cinema-Television. They were looking for a “director
of sound,” someone who could imagine and implement a creative soundtrack to match the
revolutionary visuals they planned for a low-budget science fiction adventure called "Star Wars".
The company soon became Sprocket Systems, and shared space with Industrial Light & Magic in San Rafael, before
moving up to the newly completed Skywalker Ranch in 1987.
