Great news for Star Wars entuthiasts out there: legendary composer John Williams is hoping to continue his legacy with the popular science fiction film franchise by scoring the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII movie due out in 2015. With some of the original cast members trying to get some role reprisals in the new film, it looks like the history of the franchise will be kept alive with them as well as Williams! Plus, as another bonus, director J.J. Abrams told Conan O'Brien last week that he would include one of his infamous "Easter Eggs" in the new Star Wars film.
Last week on TBS's "Conan," host O'Brien said, "Years ago when I worked for The Simpsons, I put Jub Jub into a Simpsons' episode. And so I know that if I ask you, because we're very close, I think you're closer to me than anyone in the world, I know that if I ask you, you'll put Jub Jub into a Star Wars movie. I know you'll get it in somehow."
Abrams interrupted the host saying, "Done." The two even shook hands to seal the deal.
O'Brien added, "What's going to happen is people are going to see that. You're a nice guy, you're going to say 'Yes,' and then the Star Wars movies will make no sense."
J.J. Abrams confirmed, "If and when I'm directing Star Wars, Jub Jub will somehow find its way in."
What do you think other Easter Eggs would be? Check out the video clip from "Conan" right here:
John Williams has created an incredible amount of iconic music for films, most notably the themes to Star Wars. When asked about his return to the franchise, the 81-year-old composer said, "We've certainly talked about that, and I'm happy and willing to do it. JJ Abrams, who will be the director, seems excited about the idea. I have to say that JJ is a much younger man than I, but I will try to keep up with him as much as I can!"
The living legend continued: "We now have the benefit of all this computer simulation and technical work that wasn't even possible 20 or 25 years ago. I don't know how hands-on George Lucas will be - I suspect he will be to some degree - but I can only imagine how excited he must be, to have a director like JJ have all these tools at his fingertips to produce something even more adventurous technologically. I can't wait to see what he will do with it."
