Academy Award-winning sound mixer Bob Minkler, who worked on films such as Star Wars<\/em> and Tron<\/em>, has passed away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr Minkler’s first film came with 1971’s Johnny’s Got His Gun<\/em>, following a minor career as a musician and vocalist, before turning his attention to sound design. Other notable films on which he worked were The Black Stallion, Easy Rider, Bull Durham, Mask, Rocky II<\/em> and Caddyshack<\/em>. His most famous film project, Star Wars<\/em>, earned him the Oscar for Best Sound in 1977. He would court Oscar glory again for 1982’s Tron<\/em>, although he would lose to Robert Glass and the team from ET: The Extraterrestrial<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Mr Minkler passed away on October 11th, from respiratory failure. He was 78.<\/p>\n
