nightscape94 965 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Aside from the obvious reason, I don't see any other reason why he wouldn't. He's been open to a lot of interviews and seems refreshed with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,359 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 He's never worked with Rian Johnson before. Have they even met?if he doesn't like his personality, he won't work with him. Episode 7 took 12 months to score. Would you want to spend a year working with someone you don't like at 84? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I very much hope he will do both 8 and 9, but of course it's not just a matter of his will. It could depend on several factors. Other than health first and foremost and establishing a collaboration with new very young directors (but this could be a plus for him and maybe even refreshing), I think it has mostly to do with schedule and other commitments he might have at the same time (new Spielberg films, concerts, etc). For example, the staggered schedule he had on Ep7 could have been a double-edged sword. As he said in the Tavis Smiley interview, he prefers to have a fairly completed film to work his usual modus operandi, but he surely appreciated the luxury of reworking and maybe even improving on things he already wrote the months before. Maybe the next films will have a more linear post-production process and his workflow will be the same he always had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien F 1,742 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I think the only thing stopping him from scoring 8 and 9 is his health. Even a schedule conflict with a Spielberg movie wouldn't cause him to abandon the franchise.He said himself in an interview that scoring TFA gave him a renewed vitality.

artguy360 1,843 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I want the answer to be yes but of course who can know with his advanced age. But speaking of 8 and 9, I want a director to really push JW into new territory the way Alfonso Cuaron seemed to do with POA which resulted in a fantastic, fresh, and complex score so unlike what had come before but still fitting with the film and stellar on it's own. That kind of tone shift would be great for this new trilogy I think and would mirror the shift we hear from the ANH score to the ESB score.

artguy360 1,843 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Seriously, if I were a director working on Star Wars working with JW would be like half of the appeal. And time and time again he has proven adaptable and just flat out better than any composer out there. There's nothing he can't do to enhance a film musically.

crocodile 8,012 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Desplat is an intelligent bloke and a fantastic musician. Can he be John Williams? Nope, not really. But he can give us a clever score that plays in that sonic world, I'm sure he will honour the maestro in his upcoming one. That being direct theme references, or even just some more general style. He said in several interviews that Star Wars was one score that made him want to do this job in the first place. It would have been idiotic to think he wouldn't want to do his absolutely best on this one. And Disney will want him to get close to that as well, given how the new film is doing some massive box office business.Karol SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
