John Williams: The Heart of Star Wars Music
The recent announcement that John Williams will be composing the theme for Solo: A Star Wars Story is sure to delight fans who believe that Star Wars just isn’t Star Wars without his iconic touch. Williams has been the musical force behind eight of the nine movies in the Star Wars franchise, with the only exception being Rogue One, scored by Michael Giacchino.
However, it’s important to clarify that Williams will only be writing the theme for Solo: A Star Wars Story, while the rest of the score will be handled by John Powell. Powell’s approach to the score will resemble the original Star Wars movies, but with his own unique flair. You may recognize Powell’s work from films such as the Bourne franchise, United 93, and How to Train Your Dragon. Most recently, his music can be heard in the animated film Ferdinand.
