He did Star Trek, right?
I didn't like most of the music from that movie very much, although there were a couple pieces that were quite good.

Ugh. Giacchino is the king of emotionally manipulative music. Star Wars doesn't need that stuff. We need an epic composer that can make epic music for epic battles to keep the epic feel of an epic series.

Howard Shore wouldn't be a bad choice.

Re: Composer for the next Star Wars movie?
I was going to suggest Alan Silvestri.
Recently, he's done Captain America as well as The Avengers. But most importantly, he did Back to The Future. If he can make Marty's skateboarding epic, he can do SW.

I strongly disliked Captain America's music. It seemed forced and... I dunno... off to me.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

I think Patrick Doyle would be a great choice.

I've never heard of him. What movies has he scored?
And this is why you don't watch anything produced by Ronald D. Moore after he had his brain surgically removed and replaced with a bag of elephant semen.-Gramzamber, on why Caprica sucks

Re: Composer for the next Star Wars movie?
Apparently he did Thor too. I Just listened to some of his stuff on Youtube and found it very interesting. I think he might be a good match for Star Wars. Honestly, I think Williams is getting too old to do music anymore. I just checked Wikipedia, and he's eighty one years old for christs sake. Let the man retire and spend some time with his grandchildren or something. He can still occasionally manage to produce a truly memorable piece of music, but not as much as he used to. From the PT, there's about one theme I regularly listen to per movie, compared with the OT where I'll still listen to any of the music on a regular basis.
Right now his most memorable themes seem to be ones with throwbacks to stuff he did earlier in his career. I think the same thing is happening to him that happened to Lucas. They just got old.

Re: Composer for the next Star Wars movie?
Seeing as John Williams just composed the soundtrack for Lincoln I see no reason why he still can't do it.ray245 wrote:John Williams can't continue writing scores for Star Wars forever and he himself have mentioned how scoring the PT have exhausted him. So if there is going to be a composer that succeed him as the primary composer of Star Wars, who should it be?
Hans Zimmer?
BUT if he can't then as other said the obvious choice is
Michael Giacchino
He works with JJ Abrams a lot AND he composed the music for the new version of STAR TOURS at Disney so he has already done Star Wars music before.
