They just need to tell John Williams to emulate  Mahler, and Stravinsky. 

 Hey, what's wrong with these? Listen to OT soundtrack and the influence is obvious already (Prob Droid, Luke's rescue from Bespin and many-many other scenes). Mahler was post-Wagnerian romanticist composing with a very complex dense and elaborate approach including all possible sub genres of the era (even street music). Stravinsky's neoclassic + Mahler's complexity = Star Wars sound. No need to "emulate" them. All's about story  - not about William's talent to wrap it up.
