I'm surprised by the amount of dislike towards the PT scores. They are the only thing in the PT I can hold at an equal level with the OT. I admit AOTC was the most forgettable, except for the love theme. I think some of the hate on how the rest of the movies played out gets unfairly mixed with the score. If you can detach yourself from everything that happened in the PT they are quite enjoyable on their own.

Of course I would love to see John Williams involved, but I know he is getting old. Hopefully he can make it to the end of the ST. Williams also isn't in his prime anymore. I think I'd like it best if he collaborated with another younger composer who could take the reigns for all Star Wars movies in the future. Michael Giacchino would be an excellent choice. I've enjoyed all his work, in particular Star Trek.

Well, I mean, they're fine. But when you listen to the OT scores, more specifically SW and TESB, you can really just follow the movie just by listening to the soundtracks. They're epic, they really tell the story by themselves. PT music is more like background music, it has its moments but otherwise it's almost forgettable. Also the scores got terribly cut for the films.
