Subject: Star Wars sequels to be scored by John Williams
Written By: Philip Eno on 07/29/13 at 7:53 am
Composer John Williams is to return to score Star Wars: Episode VII, it has been announced.
The Oscar-winner, who has composed all six films in the sci-fi saga, said he was "happy to be continuing to be part of the whole fun" of the franchise.
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed the news at a Star Wars fan event in Germany.
In an interview with StarWars.com, Williams hinted he would likely use some of the music from previous films.
"I haven't seen the script, so the story is still unknown to me, but I can't image there will not be some references to the existing stories that would make appropriate use of some of the earlier themes," he said.
The composer has won five Oscars over his 60-year career for his famous film scores including Jaws, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and the first Star Wars film.
He has also been nominated for more than 40 other Academy Awards for his work on movies including Superman, the Indiana Jones films, Saving Private Ryan and most recently, Lincoln.
In April, Episode VII director JJ Abrams indicated he wanted Williams to score his film, but said it was "early days".
In his latest interview, Williams praised the director saying he was "perfectly chosen to continue George Lucas's great odyssey".
Star Wars: Episode VII is scheduled to be released in 2015.

Oh Star Wars,
Nothing but Star Wars,
Give me those Star Wars,
Don't let them end.
Oh Star Wars,
If they should bar wars,
Please let these Star Wars Stay.
And hey, how 'bout that nutty Star Wars Bar,
Can you forget all those crazy creatures in there?
And hey, Darth Vader in his black and evil mask,
Did he scare you as much as he scared me?
Oh Star Wars,
Those near and far wars,
Oh STAAAR WAAAAAAARS!"

It wouldn't be Star Wars without a John Williams score.

But Meco did disco parodies of the Star Wars films. His songs didn't have anything to do with the films themselves
