John Williams Scores New Music for Disney’s STAR WARS-themed Resort

Reported in a posting today at starwars.com, Bob Chapek, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products, has announced some major details about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – including the news that John Williams is creating new and original Star Wars themes exclusively for the land. STAR WARS wouldn’t be STAR WARS without Williams’ incredible, sweeping scores; getting to hear new work from him at Galaxy’s Edge has us all the more excited.
