Want to know more behind the working of Skywalker Sound? Then this is the video for you, a tease of a film coming out on May the 4th that will delve into the nuts and bolt (and whistles and beeps) of those legendary sonic superstars.

A “Behind the Mac” film posted to Apple’s YouTube channel Friday unveiled a sneak peek into the workings of the Skywalker Sound studio.

The minute-long trailer featured the artists behind Skywalker Sound, the Lucasfilm division responsible for “Star Wars” sound effects. The entire film is set to debut on May 4.

The clip showed the producers involved in making various sound effects in the franchise, set to a melody that combined many of those chimes and dings.
