John Williams To Score 'Episode VIII' In The Next Few Weeks

Last night John Williams told the crowd, at the Tanglewood Music Center, Episode VIII scoring will begin in the next few weeks. Williams conducted a 30-minute concert of his most notable Star Wars scores, but the big reveal was the fact that he will start scoring the next movie in the Star Wars saga in the near future. 

Williams also disclosed to the audience that the fundamental reason he consented to the invitation to score Episode VIII was because he was "enchanted by actress Daisy Ridley's portrayal of Rey and does not want another compose scoring her scenes". The Rey theme has already become a staple in Star Wars musical folklore. 

Star Wars: Episode VIII completed filming last month as post production is underway in preparation for the release date on December 15, 2017.
