It's impossible to imagine a Star Wars episode without the music of John Williams, whose scores have provided extra emotion, intensity, and excitement into the movies for over 40 years.

With IX rounding out the trilogy, however, it'll also bring to a close Williams' time working on the saga. Speaking to KUSC, the composer said:

"We know J.J. Abrams is preparing one now for next year that I will hopefully do for him, and I look forward to it. It will round out a series of nine and be quite enough for me.”
