Giftheck 917 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I thought Sony classical held distribution rights of the music, or something like that.They do, but they won't hold the master rights. Those will likely be with Fox and/or Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnaud 6 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Apparently Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, announced today at the Star Wars convention in Germany that John Williams had been formerly asked to write the music for the three new Star Wars films.So whom have they since asked?Lol. I think he meant 'formally'.Obviously, I did. Thanks! (I'll try to correct the mistake on the original post.)Sorry about it. Tears of joy were blurring my vision as I was typing!

A24 4,347 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Indeed, and looking at his life force, imagine Williams reaching the age of 120! It means a lot of us will be dead while he's still composing for Star Wars upteenth. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 More than anything I think Williams is enthused (and invigorated?) to be returning to his beloved operatic universe with what he seems to consider a bright young talent (reminds him of youthful George and Steven?) and the opportunities for inspiration that may bring.

Ollie 1,059 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hopefully Lucas stays away and lets Kennedy, Abrams and Williams do their thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 4,673 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I think Lucas has always let Williams do his thing for the most part. It is Lucas's last minute editing and tinkering that has caused so many problems in terms of the score. Abrams does not seem to have that problem, so we could be in for more of a OT musical experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpvee 806 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Wasn't this already semi-confirmed back in May with his "Wheaties" speech in Boston?

Arnaud 6 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I think Lucas has always let Williams do his thing for the most part. It is Lucas's last minute editing and tinkering that has caused so many problems in terms of the score. I would say Lucas has (or had) a good ear and a good sense of how to use music in a film. He did ask Williams to rewrite the music for the Tatooine sunset scene in SW and to use Ben's theme. That decision alone was a major factor in the quality of the film and its success.As for last minute editing and tinkering, every caring filmmaker wishes he had more time to fix this and that and will tinker till the very last minute.
