John Williams Will Score the New ‘Star Wars’ Films (Unless He Dies)

We've got some good news and some bad news about the planned Star Wars sequels.

The good news is that composer John Williams has agreed to score the films. The bad news is that he's eighty-f*cking-one-years old, which means that he could peace out at any moment. Considering the first film isn't even due until 2015, there's a very real possibility that he won't be around for all three. And that would not be good

After all, where would Star Wars be without his iconic music? Hell, 'Duel of the Fates' is the only tolerable part of Phantom Menace. Hopefully I'm just being negative, and Williams will live to be 135. But just in case, they better get him the the studio tomorrow. The clock is ticking.
