Williams had recently stated: "We’re about to play Star Wars [audience interrupts with cheers] and each time we play it, I’m reminded of the first time we played it decades ago. Neither I, nor George, nor anyone else involved thought this would go far or in a few years there would be a sequel and I’d have to revisit the themes…and years later another trilogy. Now we’re hearing of a new set of movies coming in 2015, 2016…so I need to make sure I’m still ready to go in a few years for what I hope would be continued work with George…[more cheers]."

With that said, Williams probably doesn't know that JJ Abrams is set to helm the next film. It would be interesting to see this happen, only time will tell. Leave your thoughts in the usual place down below.

I really hope he returns, without his music I'm not sure I'd like the new trilogy as much as the other films. They make the films perfect to me.

Interesting! JJ probably goes with M. Giacchino, (who is VERY influenced by Williams' work). But they'll probably use the main Williams themes. Similar to John Ottman's work for Superman Returns.

Well if he is unable to fully compose and conduct the scores for the next three, maybe he and Giacchino can collaborate.

it wouldn't feel like a star wars movie without the legendary john williams.

Yeah!!!!

I'm very happy about this. Perfectly fine with Michael Giacchino too, but John Williams belongs with Star Wars (and Superman, and Jaws, and Indiana Jones, and E.T., etc.). It would't fully be Star Wars without him. :)

John Williams was the only consistently excellent thing throughout the Star Wars saga. Even if the movie was mostly crap *COUGH*Phantom Menace*COUGH*, you can always count on John Williams to deliver an amazing score.

@ACira easy to agree with that.... his music was even able to drown out all the garbage of the prequels, and in the original trilogy .... WOW, i mean imagine hearing that as a kid... pure awesome

STAR WARS owes a large portion of it's success to it's soundtrack. Having John Williams is a no-brainer and a willful fail if not. Everything looks good so far, don't [frick] this part of it up.

The greatest movie music composer alive. They'd be idiots not to bring Williams back.

John Williams did a phenomenal job with the music for the original trilogy. I hope they bring him back.

I love so many of John William's scores, especially all the pieces he wrote for the original Star Wars trilogy. But the only memorable for me from the entire prequel trilogy was Duel of the Fates. I'm concerned that he no longer can write that kind of music (just as both Lucas and Spielberg seem to have lost it for SW and Indiana Jones), and I'd like someone else try their hand at scoring the next ones.

He scored all of the other Star Wars films, Indiana Jones, and Superman..... Let him have this one.

Star Wars wouldn't be the same without him. Superman can live without him cuz its Superman. But Star Wars was born after Lucas added the soundtrack to the film. Without the music, Star Wars wouldn't have been nearly as powerful as it was.

Excellent news! This man trully makes a difference with his music.

Uhm, they better go with Williams. If Williams is available and they go with anyone else, the film will fall under the "they must not want me to see it" umbrella.

Not having Williams score Star Wars would be as silly as not having him score MOS, uh....

YESSSS! Now bring on the collaboration with Giacchino

@killerkooljames

Couldn't agree more . Williams is indeed a god amongst men in composing but the next gen should be allowed to take a crack at it . Giacchino is more than capable .

And when it comes to MOS I am really looking forward to what Hanz does with it.

But if Williams does indeed do it I have no problem with that what so ever .
