Disney Reportedly Responds to Rumors John Williams Scored Obi-Wan Show
Disney has reportedly responded to rumors that John Williams, the composer responsible for the iconic Star Wars themes, scored Obi-Wan Kenobi. The limited series will pick up with legendary Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) on Tatooine 10 years after the events after the events of 2005's Stars Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) is also set to appear as his Inquisitors hunt Force users who survived or eluded the purge of Order 66. Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of the most-anticipated Star Wars projects since the last feature film, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Williams scored all nine of the Star Wars films taking place within the Skywalker Saga, as well as providing “The Adventures of Han” theme for 2018's Solo: A Star Wars Story. In February, it was reported that Williams would be writing the main musical theme for Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, both Williams’ involvement and a composer for the series have yet to be officially announced. Williams, Michael Giacchino, John Powell, and Loki composer Natalie Holt’s names have been mentioned online as potential composers for the series. Now, Disney/Lucasfilm has reportedly responded to those rumors.
