Williams' streak of scoring films starting with "The" continues:
- The Book Thief (2013)
- The Force Awakens (2015)
- The BFG (2016)
- The Last Jedi (2017)
- The Papers (2017)

I love Williams and Silvestri, but it seems like Spielberg really likes to keep his film scores close to home. He's got a comfort zone and he stays in it. Still, it's a net positive if it keeps Silvestri in business.

Good that Spielberg moves around on his secondary choices until he finds another perfect fit.
I agree, but I also hope he _never_ finds a permanent 2nd choice. It's fun to hear what different established composers sound like when they work with him.

Am I the only person who would rather Silverstein was doing The Papers and Williams Ready Player One?

Spielberg has worked with many composers, just not as director. But he is a very hands-on producer, and has worked many times with Goldsmith, Broughton, Horner, and (yes) Silvestri.
I don't think he's necessarily looking to find his next John Williams. His relationship with Williams is that of trusted colleague and friend, and if Williams could score as many movies at 85 as he could at 65, I'm sure he'd still be using him for every directorial project. But it feels like, without Williams, Spielberg is choosing individual composers for specific projects. Since "Ready Player One" is evidently steeped in '80s culture, Silvestri (who scored Spielberg-the-producer's biggest hits in that decade) is a logical choice.
Spielberg, the film music fan, can bring out the best in composers, and it will be interesting to see if that happens this time.

Exactly.
Smart point of view of the coming situation !

While it's always disappointing when Williams passes on a Spielberg movie, Spielberg has a pretty good track record in choosing other composers. Jerry Goldsmith on Twilight Zone: The Movie, Quincy Jones on The Color Purple, Thomas Newman on Bridge Of Spies and now Silvestri on Ready Player One. Hopefully working with Spielberg (and scoring a movie all about 80's nostalgia) will allow Silvestri a lot more creative freedom than he's been allowed on most of his recent projects...only The Walk has really wowed me in the last 15 years.
And also Goldsmith on POLTERGEIST. While there's some debate about who directed the movie during production (though the answer seems perfectly clear to me just by looking at the unmistakable camerawork), from what I've both read and also heard from those involved, there's no question Spielberg alone ran post-production, including the scoring process.

Silvestri will be allowed to write an orchestral score with big themes - wonderful news!

Except (*pedants hat on*) the onscreen title (which is the one that counts) is STAR WARS EPISODE VII: THE FORCE AWAKENS, and will presumably be the same deal with STAR WARS EPISODE VIII: THE LAST JEDI.
