“Why Lightsabers Sound Like a blueprint, Sightless Scribbles”

> If I held a lightsaber, I wouldn't need to see the blade to know where it was. The sound design tells me exactly where the danger ends and the safety begins. When you wave it, the pitch constantly fluctuates. That pitch shift gives me precise data on the speed and arc of the swing. I can map the blade’s position in 3D space purely by the rise and fall of that magnetic hum.
