John Williams has expressed interest in scoring the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, according to a poster on the forums at JWFAN.com. Here's what Williams had to say during a recent concert, according to the forum member:
?We?re about to play Star Wars [audience interrupts with cheers] and each time we play it, I?m reminded of the first time we played it decades ago. Neither I, nor George, nor anyone else involved thought this would go far or in a few years there would be a sequel and I?d have to revisit the themes?and years later another trilogy. Now we?re hearing of a new set of movies coming in 2015, 2016?so I need to make sure I?m still ready to go in a few years for what I hope would be continued work with George?[more cheers].?
