In a recent interview with KUSC, John Williams, the legendary composer, said that the upcoming installment of the Star Wars franchise will most likely be his last.

After scoring all 8 Star Wars movies and earning 51 Academy Awards nominations, Williams said that while he knows that “J.J. Abrams is preparing one now that I will hopefully do next year for him,” Williams said. “I look forward to it, and we’ll round out a series of nine that will be quite enough for me.”

In his interview, Williams also paid tribute to the late Carrie Fisher.

“I think it possibly might be argued that she did her best work in this last film. I remember so well the scene between Luke and Leia where they meet, and it’s really very deeply touching, I thought. I didn’t know Carrie very well, but I always enjoyed her humor and her wit, and it’s a great loss. She made quite an impression worldwide in her role as Princess Leia.”

The still-untitled Episode IX is scheduled to hit theaters December 20, 2019.

Williams’ contribution to the music of the Star Wars franchise is impressive, composing the music for all eight installment of the Skywalker Saga. His latest musical creation is of course the music for The Last Jedi.

Williams confirmed in an interview with Variety that he will write the theme song for the latest standalone film about Han Solo. In charge of the film’s musical score, however, is composer John Powell (How to Train Your Dragon).

“The present plan is that I’m writing a theme for Han Solo, and John Powell is going to write the score, which he’ll do brilliantly,” the composer said. “His assignment is something I’m very happy about,” Williams said. “What I will do is offer this to John, and to [director] Ron Howard, and if all parties are happy with it, then I will be happy. … John will complete the score. He will write all the rest of the themes and all of the other material, which I’m going to be very anxious to hear.”

Starring as a young Han is Alden Ehrenreich, with Joonas Suotamo playing Chewbacca, Donald Glover playing Lando Calrissian, and Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke will play an unspecified role.

Solo: A Star Wars Story will hit theaters May 25.
