Benjamin A. Burtt

Benjamin A. Burtt is a sound editor who has worked on the Disney+ series Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett. He is the son of Ben Burtt, the Academy Award–winning sound editor of the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and many other Star Wars projects.

He later apprenticed under his father, digitizing old sound libraries, and went on to a full-time job as a sound-effects editor at Skywalker Sound, working alongside individuals like J.R. Grubbs on The Mandalorian and David W. Collins on The Book of Boba Fett.
