Above is my fan made Hans Zimmer inspired Star Wars trailer. I hope you all like it and I hope that somehow Hans gets a chance to listen. Even if it is a waste of time! This is in no way an ad, it's more embracing Hans Zimmers music and absorbing it into my own being. Thank you

| ggctuk | 2014-11-26 23:12:46 | | | Sorry, but Hans Zimmer won't be able to take on Star Wars any time soon (risking lynching by saying that, but as a big-time John Williams fan I must say it). That belongs to John Williams, and if he passes before the new trilogy is finished, I can see Michael Giacchino, James Horner, Alan Silvestri, maybe Howard Shore doing it. I don't think Zimmer's current style could work in Star Wars, especially given his heavy usage of synth instruments. |

| Edmund Meinerts | 2014-11-26 23:44:03 | | I don't think Howard Shore could pull off Star Wars any better than Hans could (the awkward bleedthrough from LotR into Revenge of the Sith attests to that).
Once the torch is passed from Williams, it has to be someone who can carry on with that fast, fun, brassy, insanely complicated, thematically-driven, ORCHESTRAL action style. The closest Shore has ever gotten to Williams' pace is "The Forest River" from Desolation of Smaug, otherwise I feel like he's too heavy and ponderous. Works great in Middle-earth, wouldn't work at all a long long time ago in a galaxy far away.
Of the others, Giacchino's the most obvious (and realistic) pick. Horner might work, but only if he goes back to his Krull/Willow/Wrath of Khan roots, which seems doubtful these days. Silvestri, yeah, I could see that working. To name some more obscure guys, Joel McNeely or Bruce Broughton would be fantastic. Even more obscure - Robert Folk or Frederic Talgorn. Holy crap, JOHN POWELL!! :O
There's no shortage of good options (even if some of them are pipe dreams) - but Zimmer would NOT be one of them. |

| Mike | 2014-11-27 00:25:00 | | | Edmund, I'm sorry, I know you love John Powell, but I would not want him doing Star Wars (I wouldn't want James Horner doing it either: Michael Giacchino would be my definitive first pick, and if he were to absolutely refuse, I'd be happy to let Silvestri give it a shot. But I think as far as possible they should choose someone who's compositional style is, or is able to be, very close to Williams). |

| Zimson | 2014-11-27 03:28:03 | | If Alan Silvestri gets Star Wars, the movie died for me.
Btw ggctuk, what would you call The Lone Ranger? That movie wasn't "suitable for his current style" either.
Michael Giacchino sounds pretty good to me,though. |

| isildur | 2014-11-27 04:29:58 | | Well Hans + Star Wars is pretty much doubtful. I would really like to see Hans doing it giving something extraordinary and full of fun. He has done that kind of things in the past. It wouldn't surprise me if he does it again but I would be then like o_o.
But with J.J.Abrams at the helm I would think he would choose Giacchino. After all both Star Trek scores are kick-ass. |

| ggctuk | 2014-11-27 09:24:46 | | Never seen the Lone Ranger, never watched beyond a few minutes of what I would call cinematic tripe. Zimmer's current style is too synthetic for the highly-orchestrated and romanticised style that (most) Star Wars films go for. Don't think I'm denigrating Zimmer's work at all, but he would not be a good fit for Star Wars.
Abrams is only at the helm for Episode VII, o Giacchino isn't a dead cert but I'd say his style is closest. We'll see just how close it gets when we hear Jurassic World. |

| Solaris | 2014-11-27 21:41:12 | | Allow me to chime in. I don't even want to think about another Composer, regardless of who it is, to take over before the new Trilogy is finished. As far as I am concerned he will score all three Films and stay healthy and sharp way past the Age of 90.
Having said that, I actually won't mind other Composers for the Spinoff-Films, as long as their writing Style goes into generally the same direction as Williams': Orchestral, complex, thematic. Michael Giacchino sounds like an obvious Choice, as does Alexandre Desplat (given that one of the Spinoffs is directed by Gareth Edwards, that acually sounds like a possibility - just let Desplat work together with Conrad Pope again). John Powell could work too, same goes for Joel McNeely (whose "Shadows of the Empire" I regularily revisit) as well as some of the newer Guys like Abel Korzenowski.
My personal Choice, however, would be the Guys who did such a great Job on the recent SW-Games, like Mark Griskey, Kyle Newmaster and Gordy Haab. |
