I've had the pleasure of seeing Williams a few times here in Massachusetts conducting film music with the Boston Pops, and he said just back in May that he would "keep eating his Wheaties" in regards to the new trilogy announcement. Glad it's official now!! Got to briefly meet him too (as I also have in past years), such a nice guy!

I am ready for the trials!At least Williams was the one positive aspect of the PT. In theory, he should put out a decent effort, as long as he stays alive.
Sounding like a broken record since May 2006.

Great news. Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the Ben Burtt announcement.
As long as Burtt isn't allowed near an editing suite. Sound YES PLEASE!, visuals no thanks.
Agreed. Although, judging from the TPM behind-the-scenes features, I got the impression Burtt simply edited the way GL instructed him to. And begrudgingly, at that.
Anyway, back on topic...
Will Williams still be around for Eps VIII and IX? I think it unlikely.

Hopefully he will emulate the brilliance of Empire and Raiders. My 2 personal faves. Just take a moment to listen to the the score when the falcons being chased in Empire and into the Asteroid field. Exceptional. Williams at his best. (Makes the hairs on my neck stand up) Episode VII needs that type of stuff.

Why would you even say that?
He's not exactly a spring chicken. He is in his 80s now. Even if his health holds up over the next 6 years, he may give some serious consideration to retiring within that time. I would love to be proven wrong.

The Indy Trilogy was amazing. His work on Temple of Doom is what makes me love that movie so much. That music that plays when Indy frees the slave children is epic. Raiders is a better overall soundtrack though. From the first fading in notes of the intro piece to the end credits fanfare.
"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you'll be able to project it on a 20' by 40' screen with perfect quality. I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Here's a great interview they did with him about working on VII.

In Ben Burrt's panel at CEII, he did not announce right out that he was involved in Episode VII, but it was pretty much implied. He said at least that he is looking forward to future Star Wars work, and that he knew some things that he was not allowed to talk about.

I am ready for the trials!Considering he did the sound effects for both of JJ's Star Trek movies, I can't see him not coming back for VII.
