John Williams : Why is he not composing Bridge of Spies?

Why is he not composing Bridge of Spies?

Is it because he's busy with Star Wars? I believe that this is only the 3rd Spielberg project since The Sugarland Express that Williams has not worked on - others being Twilight Zone : The Movie, The Color Purple, and now this. Any thoughts?

Minor back-ailment at an inopportune time in the scoring schedule. He's healed now apparently.
It didn't really sound like that interesting a project for him at least.

Re: Why is he not composing Bridge of Spies?

He has also pulled out of the Star Wars Spinoff film next year.
Fact is he does not have all the many years left, and he might just want to relax and enjoy them.

He didn't pull out of Rogue One, he was never attached to score it. I think it's just the spinoffs are kind of their own thing, like the video games and the TV shows. Williams probably only feels obligated to score the main saga.
