"It Looks Like It’s Gonna Happen"

Rian Johnson has begun filming Star Wars: Episode VIII:Bob Iger wrote:"There is no better way to propel this franchise into the future than producing quality products,” (Iger) said. “Filming of Star Wars: Episode VIII, the next chapter of the legendary saga, has just commenced and it will be in theaters December 2017. And production of Episode IX, a 2019 release, has also begun.”

John Williams, who has scored every Star Wars live action movie to date, isn't sure if he'll be back for Episode VIII.

Boyega: It’s very easy. Rian Johnson is great. It’s a different take, darker, bigger. Someone will say: “How do you get bigger than ‘Force Awakens?'” But it’s crazy.
Does your character get darker?
Boyega: My skin color does because of the heat on the job! That’s me dodging your question because Disney has spies everywhere. If I answer this, I get killed, and I’m not in episode nine.
Quint wrote:Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We will see a day when John Williams doesn't score a Star Wars movie (defined here as one of the Episodes since if you count the Clone Wars film WB released or the Ewok TV movies that day has already come). That is a depressing thought, but every time it creeps into my head I just look back at the 7 amazing scores he gave us already and feel contented.
But I'm a geek, so I'll never truly be contented. That brings us to Rian Johnson's Episode VIII, currently filming in Ireland.
Will John Williams score this new movie? The answer's still unknown, but John Williams did speak about the possibility recently and Indie Revolver passed along the news.
Williams did a performance of Star Wars cues with the Boston Pops and spoke to the audience during the night. In regards to Episode VIII he said that Kathleen Kennedy asked him to come back, but he said he wasn't sure if he was up to it. The man is in his mid-80s afterall.
But. He's also very protective of Star Wars and Rey in particular. He said he doesn't want to see anyone else writing music for Rey.
The decision is still up in the air, but if I were a betting man, I'd wager that Williams, barring ill health, buckles down and scores Episode VIII. From the bits I've heard about him over the years and the feeling I get reading his words on the new trilogy I think his overall feeling of ownership on this franchise will win out.
I, for one, would love for him to finish out this trilogy, but eventually he'll retire and then who do we go to? Alexandre Desplat is doing Rogue One. I'm sure Michael Giacchino will end up doing a Star Wars score at some point. Maybe the way to go is a different person for each film?
What are your thoughts?

“We’re giving [Rogue One] a little bit of breathing room, and then probably heading into spring, you’ll start to see things.”

That said, they’ll likely still get in touch with the mouse house to figure out how to best maximize the opportunity, especially with “Star Wars: Episode VIII” on the horizon. (Imagine if the first teaser for the ‘VIII’ came in front of the re-release of ‘A New Hope’? That would be something).

The Force Awakens Opening Crawl wrote:Luke Skywalker has vanished. In his absence, the sinister FIRST ORDER has risen from the ashes of the Empire and will not rest until Skywalker, the last Jedi, has been destroyed.
With the support of the REPUBLIC, General Leia Organa leads a brave RESISTANCE. She is desperate to find her brother Luke and gain his help in restoring peace and justice to the galaxy.
Leia has sent her most daring pilot on a secret mission to Jakku, where an old ally has discovered a clue to Luke's whereabouts....

Probably because I've seen THE FORCE AWAKENS.

That's some serious shit!
TheBaxter wrote:i like how this teaser's opening mirrors the teaser for TFA... ambient music, static fade-in, sudden gasping entrance by major character.

it's time for the Jedi to end what?
fracking?
the Gold Standard?
the War on Drugs?
the practice of offering high-interest paycheck loans to poor inner-city workers?
i just hate it when they take a quote out of context.
