tell me, is John Williams doing the soundtrack for the new movie?

Yeah he is and I have to say no one loves John Williams more then I do but with JJ directing part of me was kind of hoping we would get to hear Giacchino's take on Star Wars for an interesting change. But hey you can't have everything.

um . . .no. No one is allowed to touch a Star Wars movie soundtrack but Williams.

The man is like a thousand years old at this point it has to be something the producers are at least planning for, I mean if he were to drop dead tomorrow I wouldn't want them to cancel episodes eight and nine because I get the feeling this story is planed as part of trilogy.

Also as much as I love Williams(and if you look at the number of his soundtracks I own that is a lot)I have to admit the last score he did that didn't feel like a complete retread of his earlier scores was Catch Me if you can and that was more then a decade ago. Maybe at least giving him someone new to work with to help him come up with some new ideas wouldn't be that bad of a move.
