pashnak Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 One of the many questions still yet to be answered in regards to Star Wars: Episode VII is who will compose the score. While nothing is set in stone yet, John Williams, who crafted the music for the six previous Star Wars movies, revealed at a recent concert that he wants to come back to work on the score for director J.J. Abrams' sci-fi sequel. "We're about to play Star Wars [audience interrupts with cheers] and each time we play it, I'm reminded of the first time we played it decades ago. Neither I, nor George (Lucas), nor anyone else involved thought this would go far or in a few years there would be a sequel and I'd have to revisit the themes...and years later another trilogy. Now we're hearing of a new set of movies coming in 2015, 2016...so I need to make sure I'm still ready to go in a few years for what I hope would be continued work with George...[more cheers]." Of course, George Lucas himself won't be too involved in Star Wars: Episode VII after selling Lucasfilm in October for north of $4 billion. Director J.J. Abrams has used composer Michael Giacchino for all of his feature directorial outings. We'll have to wait and see which composer is in fact chosen to work on the music for Star Wars: Episode VII. Star Wars: Episode VII comes to theaters in 2015. http://www.movieweb.com/news/john-williams-wants-to-make-music-for-star-wars-episode-vii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caomhanach Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Win / Win Although I'll have to admit that I am going to miss the 20th Century Fox fanfare in the beginning of the future SW films. Sigh... Oh man, I totally forgot about that! All depends if Disney or Lucasfilm wants another company to do the distribution of the films... These film companies release their films through many other companies so it is still possible for them to relese through Fox... I hope so... I also found this interesting little snippet (from Wikipedia so you can take it with a pinch of salt)... 20th Century Fox, the distributors of the first six Star Wars films, still retain the distribution rights to the original two Star Wars trilogies, owning permanent distribution rights for the original film Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, while holding the distribution to Episodes I-III, V and VI until May 2020.Paramount Pictures retains some distribution rights for the Indiana Jones films, and future films will only be produced if both Paramount and Disney agree on terms.
