Is writing Star Wars music more strenuous on him? 'cause if it's not and he either doesn't want to or can't continue scoring them, then it's only a matter of time before he feels the same way about any film. Perhaps he may retire completely before he dies. I wouldn't blame him for wanting to just enjoy life before it's too late.

As Kirk once said, "Galloping around the galaxy is for the young." I'm not a fanatic. The best of talents, artists, athletes, visionaries, philosophers have their prime. Sometimes it's best to move on.
Don't disagree with you in theory. But in this case, several of Williams' scores of the 2010s are among my very favorites. So I'm not in any hurry to see Williams retire. Not at all.
As far as Star Wars scores go, I think its been diminishing results with each new film. I'm including the trilogy, prequels and sequels. As much as I try, I just can't get into Force Awakens or Last Jedi. They don't leave an impression with me. They're very journeymen like for sure, but I don't find them memorable or have a desire to revisit them. A part of all this is the musical climate in Hollywood too though. I would be more interested in seeing what Debney, JNH, or McNeely could do. (among many other composers)

I'm of that thinking, too. In fact, I got a step beyond and say none of these new Star Wars films are worth a toot. And it doesn't seem like they're getting any better.
So with that line of thinking, I'm glad he's likely not going to stick around and have his name attached to some of these things.
Some John Debney and Don Davis (in the creative fun "Seaquest" mode) would be nice.

Fair enough. I don't happen to agree with you – in fact, "The Force Awakens" is my third favorite "Star Wars" score (after the first two) – but there you have it. Personally, I like zero Debney scores and maybe a couple of McNeelys – I dread those names on scores – but again, just an opinion.

Artists who only serve their "prime" aren't selfish enough to be artists.
