    I have chosen this Star Wars sound archive page <http://members.aol.com/chewie81/starwars/swsounds.htm> because it incorporates many ideas in our study of media, especially media culture. First of all, the site is about a movie, one of the most prominent forms of media in our day and age. Secondly, on the page are sound clips, making it a multimedia experience. Finally, by seeing the large amount of seemingly insignificant sound clips, we see what a powerful, if not cultish influence can have on society; it is clear that the person who made this page is a total Star Wars nut. The web can tie together many previously separate forms of media.
