Kathleen Kennedy has just confirmed at Star Wars Celebration Europe that John Williams will return to score Star Wars: Episode VII, VII, and IX.
Appearing on a pre-recorded video, Williams said he was delighted to be returning to the saga, and said that while he had not seen the script, he was looking forward to drawing on some of his original themes and adding new material.
"I look forward to returning to a galaxy far, far away... I actually feel like I never left it," says Williams. "I'm happy to be a continuing part of the Star Wars saga... and the joy in the journey of discovery that awaits us all."
He goes on to say why he thinks Kennedy and Abrams are perfect choices to continue the saga.
It had been rumoured for a while that the Academy award winning composer would return to work on the upcoming films, with Abrams expressing his interest in working with Williams.
"His music just gives me the chills. It's so important for the saga, and We're really excited he's a part of it," said Kennedy.
