Lewya 360 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Lawrence Kasdan:"These movies will all be so different. [“Episode VIII” director] Rian Johnson is a friend of mine — he’s going to make some weird thing. If you’ve seen Rian’s work, you know it’s not going be like anything that’s ever been in “Star Wars.” You couldn’t have three more different people than J.J., Rian and [“Episode IX” director] Colin [Trevorrow]. Those movies will have the “Star Wars” saga as their basis, but everything else will be different. Then Phil Lord and Chris Miller are going to make the Han Solo film and I can’t guess what that will be like — and I’m writing it!"So that means the score could be very different even if Williams stays on I guess? Maybe another it'll "Prisoner of Azkaban opportunity", I really hope he stays on for Johnson's movie, it sounds like it could be a really interesting score.- http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/herocomplex/la-ca-hc-star-wars-lawrence-kasdan-20151206-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Force Awakens is gonna be the film with most ties to the previous films because they have to rekindle the fire of the older generation and create a natural bridge to the new stories. But the future SW films will probably be much less dependent on this--I wouldn't be surprised if they will do something different with the music as well. So it was important also to have John Williams writing new music and new themes for the new characters and situations for this film, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Maestro will pass the baton to someone else for the next chapters.

I agree with you, but do we really think that Disney/Lucasfilm will be done with "episodes" after doing IX? Of course not, there will be X, XI and XII... and on and on. The franchise is going beyond the concept of trilogies and episodes. Williams will stay with it as long as he desires of course, but given the path the franchise is being put on, I wouldn't be surprised if he will consider passing the torch after TFA.

I don't think they will radically change the musical aproach in the middle of this trilogy.Of course they won't change anything radically all of a sudden, but they will probably start putting new elements into the whole fabric and build a new universe, and this may also include the music. From what is being said publicly by the filmmakers themselves (Kennedy, Abrams, Kasdan, Johnson), it's clear there is no Lucas-like mastermind at play here this time. Every writer and director is bringing his/her own sensibility within the SW framework, so there are more margins of creative freedom (although within the Star Wars universe of course) and perhaps also the right to change course if something isn't working as expected. This will become more apparent in the future films, imho.That being said, I too hope Williams will score more Star Wars films. If he truly enjoyed working on TFA, I'm pretty sure he will do VIII as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Depending on Spielberg's schedules for Ready Player One and It's What I Do, he might not be able to, or he'd have to choose between the projects.Of course, Episode 8 could have a significantly shorter scoring process than Episode 7 did, so who knows.

SteveMc 2,674 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 The Force Awakens borrowed from the whole OT, in a nostalgic fan fest Star Wars is back kind of way. Episode8 will be original, hopefully, and will aim to be on par with TESB, with a shocking revelation ending that will challenge everything we know about everything. Or something like that.
