Our pals over at Making Star Wars bring us an exciting potential update to the rumours surrounding who is going to be scoring the Rebels theme. Will it be John Williams, Michael Giacchino or J.J. Abrams? Here’s what they had to say.
Yesterday we ran a rumor that John Williams was scoring Star Wars Rebels which we heard from a source at USC. Our comrades at Jedi News heard J.J. Abrams was writing the theme song. Now I have had correspondence with another person I trust in the industry:
Michael Giacchino was considered. No one is officially on Star Wars Rebels yet.
Michael Giacchino has done countless projects for Abrams and scored Star Tours II in accordance with John Williams. Michael Giacchino was assumed by many to score Episode VII until John Williams made it clear he was returning if he could, Abrams said he wanted him to return, and then it was announced he was officially returning. That was the end of Michael Giacchino and Star Wars it seemed. Although many have speculated he could compose the music for one of the Star Wars spin-off films.
