Sound Ideas, WIND - BLAST, MODULATION & HOWL, WEATHER

This sound effect can be found on the Lucasfilm Sound Effects Library, which was made by Sound Ideas.

It starts off/is mixed with SoundDogs, Electric - Sparks & Hum - C U - Series Of Amazingly Creaky Sparks And Reverberant Decay (or just one of the electric whines that may also be known as SKYWALKER, ELECTRICITY - THE FORCE WHINE), which also debuted in the same film.
