\u2018Solo\u2019 will stay in the Star Wars family with veteran franchise composer John Williams set to write the theme for the standalone film about Han Solo, slated for release on May 25. It will be Williams\u2019 ninth assignment.<\/p>\n

Williams revealed his involvement in Solo: A Star Wars Story<\/em><\/a> during in an interview with Variety about his current Star Wars<\/em> opus, The Last Jedi<\/em>. \u201cThe present plan is that I\u2019m writing a theme for Han Solo, and John Powell is going to write the score, which he\u2019ll do brilliantly,\u201d Williams says.<\/p>\n

Powell was announced as the primary composer for \u201cSolo\u201d back in July. \u201cHis assignment is something I\u2019m very happy about,\u201d Williams adds. \u201cWhat 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. \u2026 John [Powell] will complete the score. He will write all the rest of the themes and all of the other material, which I\u2019m going to be very anxious to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n
