John Williams will return to compose Solo

Spectromixer · Dec 30, 2017

Sorry for the misleading tweet/thread title. He will be composing a theme for Han

Williams revealed his involvement in "Solo: A Star Wars Story" during in an interview with Variety about his current "Star Wars" opus, "The Last Jedi." "The present plan is that I'm writing a theme for Han Solo, and John Powell is going to write the score, which he'll do brilliantly," Williams says.

Wait the music production hasn't even begun ? We are months after post production now

ISN'T THIS MOVIE OUT IN 5 MONTHS

Think this is the third thread.

Isn't Powell doing the score, and Williams just writing a theme..

Solo · Dec 30, 2017

TBH I would rather he just focus on IX, but I'm not complaining

Uh, what?

John Powell was announced as the composer months ago.

I believe JW usually takes ~2 months to score a movie

Williams lost his way or maybe he shouldnt do Star wars anymore or any of his old movies. Try new shit dude

It's just for the main theme (and a concert version I assume).

WadiumArcadium · Dec 30, 2017

That tweet's a tad misleading. He's doing a theme for Han. John Powell is composing the rest of the score.

Solo · Dec 30, 2017

What? He did great work on TFA and TLJ.

ZeoVGM · Dec 30, 2017

Wait, it says it right there in the article

Williams revealed his involvement in "Solo: A Star Wars Story" during in an interview with Variety about his current "Star Wars" opus, "The Last Jedi." "The present plan is that I'm writing a theme for Han Solo, and John Powell is going to write the score, which he'll do brilliantly," Williams says.

This isn't news and the headline Variety uses in the tweet is basically clickbait.

Williams' work for episodes 7 and 8 are far, far superior to anything by Giacchino in Rogue One, or almost any other action film over the past few years tbh.

His score for TLJ is fantastic so I'm not sure you know what you're talking about here.

Edit: Never mind, didn't realize it was PaypayTR. All he does is troll threads.
