I'd rather the live action show didn't have any/minimal music

So, with shock news from the Rickmiester that he and George are hoping John Williams will come back to score the live action series, its time for SSSW's first poll.
If this goes down well, I will be posting more polls over the next few weeks and months.

I'm really hoping that John Williams goes along with it because the music of Star Wars is a huge part of the character of it.

Agreed. I never really thought he'd do the TV series though, and I always suspected they would either bring in a new composer (which I guess they might) Or they would use old music and keep it to an absolute minimum.
But new JW SW music - Man, just the possibility is exciting to me.

Oh me too, though I'm still doubtful that he'll do a TV series. I don't think he did the music for Young Indiana Jones but apparently he composed the theme to the short lived TV show "Jack & Bobby."

Well Rick's said he's hoping they can get him. So, no promise's. But the fact he's even being mentioned is a good sign, IMO.

Exactly what I was about to say!
The sad thing is though, I doubt he will do it. Mr. Williams is getting up there, and although he still keeps busy, he does not score nearly as many films as he used to. I think I recall hearing that he did say he was going to purposely wind down on the amount of work he takes on.

It'll be nice to hear some John Williams, but I don't think it's necessary to have his involvement.
There's enough of his music across the 6 films they can re-use, and I'm sure someone could imitate the master by now.
If he wants to be involved, there's no one better though.

I don't think John will be doing it. TV soundtracks are extremely demanding, assuming you don't resort to using the same music piece played different ways. Hopefully John will have a say in who they get to do it though. I know that the guy who scored JP/// did it because John didn't have time to do it, but recommended that they hire him. Maybe he'll participate in the themes for some of the main characters because it would be a shame if he didn't contribute to it. He's the unsung hero of SW.

It never occoured to me Williams wouldn't do it. Or at least them using Williams older stuff for thew saga. Seriously, what's SW without that iconic music?

If John Williams wants to score this TV show, then that would be fantastic. The musical touch he added to Star Wars in the prequels was just awesome, so new Star Wars scores would simply be all that: awesome.
So the first option:
I can't wait to hear new Star Wars music by John Williams

He will write music for the series...not for episodes...which means he'll probably create 2 or 3 themes that they can rehash over the course of a season...as far as generic background music...they'll tap one of the young guys they've used for other stuff.
I doubt they'll have an original theme for opening credits...but if they do...expect that to be all Williams.
At this stage, John's impact is minimal...as we saw from the Prequels...even he was pretty much mimicking himself with much of the material...every fan and every musician "knows" what Star Wars "sounds like"...so variations on that sound are fairly easy now...look at stuff we've gotten for games and such over time...it's great stuff, certainly inspired by the film score...but not all Williams.

So Devaronian females are suppose to have thick fur, eh?
Has anyone seen one outside an essential guide?
...
When even the creative teams refuse to make fuzzy Devaronians...it should be a clue, folks.
Thus endeth the lesson.

How can this

be good news?
Of course, one has to be patient and see whether this will happen or not.
