From SoundtrackNet – Momentous news! It’s been announced by Kathleen Kennedy that John Williams will be scoring the new Star Wars films, Star Wars VII, VIII and IX. IN an announcement at Celebration Europe in Essen, Germany. From John Williams: “I look forward to returning to a galaxy far, far away. I hope I can contribute something in the new films that will be worthy of your continued attention.”
I certainly look forward to what he will continue to bring to the Star Wars franchise. His scores helped make all six films and I am sure we will get more great music from him for these next films. Very exciting!
As for the event itself, Celebration Star Wars Europe is the ultimate fan experience that focuses on Star Wars. It is three fun-filled days full of exhibits, interactive show floor, screenings, merchandise, panels, celebrity guests, and all other things celebrating Star Wars. This is a show that travels around the world. This year they are in Messe Essene, Germany. Watch the website for its next location next year. Go to www.starwarscelebration.eu.
