I'd like to think he'd earned first refusal at the very least. However, I'm worried that he won't be able to recapture past glories.
His first two are absolute classics, the next two were very good indeed, the last two were just 'quite good', although I understand they were a post production nightmare for JW.
Who else could do it better?

I sincerely hope he will score all three movies and have no doubt that he will deliver something extraordinary.
To think that at the end he could crown his magnificent career with a symphony that comprises nine parts...

True. His Star Wars scores seem to have progressively declined in quality over the years, which doesn't bode well for future films.
Besides, he's 81 and he's not getting any younger. What if he has a stroke or dies or something in the next few years, leaving him unable to score any films beyond the next one? You'd have one Williams-scored film and then the remaining films scored by Giacchino.
While the prequel scores are definitely of lower calibre than the first trilogy scores, there's still some phenomenal writing in them. Williams has evolved as a composer and doesn't write like the Williams of the 80s anymore. This is particularly noticeable in his writing for action scenes which has become noticeably less thematic and more rhythm-driven. I wonder if this is a response to changing post production deadlines and lack of availability of effects shots to score to / last minute re-editing. On the other hand, his dramatic scoring is considerably more advanced if more subtle and nuanced nowadays.
At any rate, even given that we don't have Williams writing in his old style, I cannot think of any other composer now working these days that I would rather have score this new trilogy.
