The lightsaber sound made during the Star Wars movies was actually made by placing a microphone next to a metal slinky while the slinky was moving.

BONUS FUN FACT: The very first time Korey ever said anything to me was because I was talking about Star Wars. We completely fell in love with each other during our 'Star Wars Weekend' which included all 6 movies, a roller coaster feeling in the pit of my belly, borrowed couches (thanks Brandi, Jacob, James and Aubrey!) lots of screwdrivers, giggles (on my part), no sleep and finishing with the Star Wars exhibit at the Houston Health Museum. I believe it was date #3.
