Yeah like this wasn't going to happen....John Williams will score Star Wars Episode VII



Well no casting news but good news none the less.

Star Wars Celebration Europe has confirmed that Oscar winner John Williams will compose the score for Star Wars Episode VII:  Mark Hamil does P90X.  Since J.J. Abrams is directing many had speculated that long time compatriot composer Michael Giacchino would step into the role.  Not so.

Although it's hard to imagine anyone else scoring Star Wars films other than John Williams, it's bound to happen someday.  Provided of course that Disney continues to stick with their plans.  While I'm happy about this news I don't really think it makes a huge difference.  At this point in time I think most composers could follow the classic Star Wars theme.

Episode VII begins filming early next year.
