About this sound

Mace Windu's death scream from Star Wars Revenge of the Sith, as he is blasted by Force lightning and thrown from a window, used for dramatic fails.

This clip captures Mace Windu's final scream in Revenge of the Sith as Emperor Palpatine's Force lightning hits him and sends him falling from the Chancellor's office window. The scream starts sharp and strained, then stretches out and fades as he drops, mixing pain, shock and disbelief in one long cry. It is a short, intense burst rather than a line of dialogue, which makes it instantly recognisable to Star Wars fans. Played on its own, it turns an ordinary defeat or fall into a huge, tragic movie moment.

Pro tip

Place the scream right as your character, player or object starts falling or gets launched, and let it fade with the drop. Do not cut it early or loop it, and keep music low so the long trailing cry stays clear.

How people use it

Drop it over gameplay falls off cliffs and ledges.
Use it when a character gets launched across screen.
Add it to dramatic defeat edits and fail compilations.
Play it for shocking betrayals in Star Wars edits.

More information

Mace Windu, played by Samuel L. Jackson, dies in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, released in 2005, after Anakin Skywalker betrays him and Palpatine attacks him with Force lightning. Clips of the fall circulated on video and soundboard sites as fans isolated the scream from the duel. It remains popular because the fall is a turning point toward Darth Vader and the Empire, and it is often grouped with other dramatic Star Wars screams in meme edits and parodies of sudden, over the top defeats.
