John Williams to score Star Wars: Episode VII

After some speculation and rumors, we now have confirmation that composer John Williams will return to the Star Wars franchise to score Episode VII. This shows J.J. Abrams making a bold move as he is breaking apart from his frequent composer Michael Giacchino who has scored all of Abrams' previous films.

Williams scored all six of the previous Star Wars films and has made some of the most iconic and memorable music in recent film history including scores for Jurassic Park, Superman, Indiana Jones, and the Harry Potter franchise. His return to Star Wars, at the age of 81, is a pretty big deal.

Good to have you back, Mr. Williams!
