Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Fred Waterer, who shares a link to the following video from the new series The Book of Boba Fett.

Not the first time CHU appeared in Star Wars!
You might recall that we first heard CHU in the “Battle of Hoth” scenes from The Empire Strikes Back!
In fact, Star Wars Sound Designer, Ben Burtt, gave us some proper insight in a post a few years ago. It was truly an honor corresponding with him directly and learning about his grandfather, Harold Burtt (W8CD).

I’m looking forward to watching The Book of Boba Fett and hearing CHU for myself! Thanks for the tip, Fred!
Show is awesome, but man it made Boba Fett merch expensive. Look at the shoes https://gamex.gg/star-wars-boba-fett-shoes
CHU-bacca! 🙂
Those signals would be from the early to mid 1970’s. I remember getting excited at the theater when I heard it on screen. It was great to have a tie to the real world an my Shortwave hobby at the time. https://youtu.be/G7x626JvYVI
Now, the real hardcore type will attempt to pull that signal off and decode the time and date info in it…
Cool!
I just watched that episode last night (with headphones, too) and totally missed that! I guess I’ll have to re-watch the episode and see what else I missed.
Thanks!
