    Alan Menken

    Who should compose the new Star Wars soundtracks?

    Alan Menken

    7. Alan Menken

    Definitely an outside bet, but Menken has been responsible for some of Disney's biggest soundtrack successes in the modern era. He won Oscars for Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Little Mermaid, so clearly has a great relationship with them, but would he be right for a sic-fi epic like Star Wars?
