What changes would it take for you to not consider TLJ the worst of SW scores?

I'd replace the exclusively Williams/Star Wars temp score with a temp composed of mostly classical music, with a bit of non-Williams film music thrown in. Heteroglossia baby!

Williams doesn’t tend to “save” thematic ideas or variations for later films.

I don't know how either of us could definitively say he does or doesn't, unless Williams has explicitly said he doesn't. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Williams has had ideas that don't make it into a film for one reason or another, like any composer...

In this case, I don't think (speculation) Williams intended to score VIII and IX.

I don't think there was any indication, apart from his health, that he wouldn't, and even if he didn't return he still wanted to write for the character of Rey.

Kennedy implied discussing all three with him in her original announcement...it always seemed like he was pretty open to doing them all but he’s probably taken them one at a time, creatively. I don’t think he’s planting seeds or anything.

Nor do I think he's approaching it that way, however I'm not going to dismiss that he could be thinking ahead, whilst scoring it film-by-film.
