Some directors want a temp score and others don't. Temp scores work for directors that aren't good with music score, so they trust their music supervisors and music editors.

But to put a temp score in a John Williams scored film is just ridiculous, IMO, because what happens then is that John will be expected to score it with the same rhythm, tempo, instrumentation and feel as the temp score, whereas he might have scored the scene completely different and of course, completely awesome.

I think this is a recipe for disaster.

I would like to think that J.J. just isn't dumb enough to NOT let John do his thing. It saddens me to learn this is how he does shit.
