In reply to Steve Winkler. Agreed! In the meantime, there is Powell's score for Solo, and that gives us a pretty good idea of what his Star Wars sound is like, though he might change it somewhat for a film on the main saga storyline.

I’d like to see John Powell have a shot at a Star Wars movie. In my opinion he’s one of the only composers writing in the same manner as John Williams at present.

I, too am concerned about the idea of Star Wars stretching beyond Williams’ lifetime. But that will inevitably happen. I think that the next Star Wars composer, once Williams passes (sad thought!) would undoubtedly be Michael Giacchino. Not only is the man a constant collaborator of J.J. Abrams, Episode VII’s director, but also he provided the score for a Star Wars theme park event and seems to have a similar style to Williams.

Honestly, I think Giacchino and Williams should collaborate on the upcoming film. Then once Williams is no longer able to score the series, Giacchino will have established himself as a Star Wars composer.
