My Take
Matthew Wood is exactly the sort of below-the-line talent I love to celebrate. As supervising sound editor at Skywalker Sound, he shapes how some of cinema's biggest worlds actually sound, work most audiences never consciously notice yet feel in every scene. The delightful twist is that he also voices General Grievous across the Star Wars franchise, meaning the man building the soundscape also conjured that rasping, mechanical menace. I find it remarkable when a craftsman crosses from the technical booth to the character himself. Hollywood's spotlight rarely reaches people like Wood, but his fingerprints are on far more than the credits let on.
