In the "No Brainer" department John Williams will score "Star Wars Episode VII"

     You knew this was only a matter of time.
     According to "Indiewire," at a recent German press conference for Star Trek Into Darkness, Star Wars Episode VII director J.J. Abrams was asked who would be scoring the next film.  His answer:  Taylor Lautner.  Which is what he would have said if J.J. Abrams was a complete moron.  No, Abrams exact words were "going forward John Williams will be scoring the film."
     This news was accompanied by complete shock and awe from precisely no one.  I mean c'mon?  Did anyone really think that short of death or a severe illness that John Williams wasn't going to score this film?
     I will admit that Abrams teaming up with Williams is a bit of a departure as he usually deals with Michael Giacchino.  But don't rule out the possibility that Giacchino might score a Star Wars film down the line, especially if Abrams returns. 
     Star Wars Episode VII is set for release in summer 2015.
