Who'll score new Star Wars films?
I'd read that John Williams was in semi-retirement and just wondered, if he decides not to score the forthcoming Trilogy, who would be a fitting replacement?
I would go with Michael Giacchino. I thought his score for the Star Trek (2009) movie was great. Can't see Hans Zimmer taking on the challenge - not his style. Howard Shore?
May all be academic, if Williams does return for the movies, but interested in your views.

Michael Giacchino- thinks he understands classical music in film/tv better than most and could certainly do it,
he practically sounds like John Williams in sections of Super 8
David Newman, Ramin Djawadi, Graeme Revell, Michael Beltrami (Love Up's music)
Other then them I would love Howard Shore too.
It's gonna be a very hard task to follow in John Williams footsteps, if that's on the cards. Alan Silvestri is a fairly safe pair of hands, although was disappointed with his Avengers score.
Loved his music for BSG, but I guess it depends on whether they see these new films as a continuation or more of a reboot as to who they pick.
They could always pick Danny Elfman. The version they did of the Star Wars theme in his style on Family Guy would cause a meltdown on forums if they actually did use it on the new Star Wars films .
The most original John Williams sounding music I've ever heard was created for The Force Unleased I and II.

From "The Matrix Reloaded" soundtrack, listen to "Mona Lisa Overdrive" to the Millennium Falcon asteroid chase from Empire Strikes Back or "Chateau" to the Anakin vs Obi-Wan lightsabre battle for example...
