John to score new Star Wars

BERLIN: Composer John Williams is to return to score Star Wars: Episode VII, it has been announced. The Oscar-winner, who has composed all six films in the sci-fi saga, said he was “happy to be continuing to be part of the whole fun” of the franchise. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed the news at a Star Wars fan event in Germany. In an interview with StarWars.com, Williams said: “I haven’t seen the script, so the story is still unknown to me, but I can’t image there will not be some references to the existing stories that would make appropriate use of some of the earlier themes.–BBC
