Would make sense. He will be in his late 80's, he's already been taking fewer projects for about a decade, is writing quite a lot for concert. Spielberg is already using other composers. So Star Wars is the be other thing in his film music career.
I predict John Williams will retire from composing film music after Star Wars: Episode 9.
Though he will continue to write for concert and conduct. (health permitting)
