159 posts speculating on who is going to score a movie three years from now, if indeed they get one made in 2015.
Never were truer words spoken than by William Shatner on SNL: "Get a life!"

Who is the more foolish, the fool who posts comments about a movie saga that most of the posters on here no doubt love, or the fool who is suprised by the comments made on a thread entitled "Star Wars 7 (2015) - who will score!?"?

Since John Williams nominated Don Davis to take the helm in JP3 then he would be the obvious choice. His score for that film really kept the heart of Williams style but added his own dramatic edge to it in parts.

As I recall, that didn't happen. James Horner was being sought to score it, but he couldn't for some reason, so he suggested Davis, whom had done some ghostwriting, and some orchestrating ("Titanic") for him.

Without a doubt I'd give this job to John Scott.
I think when I have a little free time, I'll make an edit of pieces from various cues of his film scores, to give as example.

So? He's still scoring. Had two recent scores, and two more coming. That about as active as a film composer of Williams has been in the same time frame.

He will think about it!
I like that.
Also liked the news about future non-Spielberg films.

Although obviously just a rumour, AICN has mentioned Matthew Vaughn as a potential director. Based on his prior composer collaborations, the only person that seems to crop up more than once is Ilan Eshkeri who I think could do a great job. On the other hand, his last effort, X-Men: First Class, was scored by Henry Jackman and I have to be honest, from what I've heard so far, Jackman wouldn't be my first choice to score a Star Wars film.

I always thought that Giacchino is a composer who keeps the orchestral old school sound of Mancini and Williams, but with a recognizable style of his own.

What makes him "obvious"?
Perhaps because people started to notice him when he was pretty much apeing Williams's style for the Medal of Honor games.
Not to mention he did the music for The Lost World game.
There are several tracks from the Medal of Hono(u)r games that are clear riffs on various action cues from Indy (although admittedly I can't offhand think of one that riffs on Star Wars). However, some are closer riffs than others and I certainly think he has the ability to tread the fine line between aping the classic Williams style (either 70's or 90's depending on which trilogy style they go for!) and his own style. However, as I said earlier, just hope it doesn't go off in such a new direction that we end up with a Star Wars equivalent to his Star Trek score which, while good, doesn't quite sit in the pantheon as well as it might.
