I also like Stewart Copeland's scores. Rumblefish, Wisdom and so on.
Elfman might be an interesting choice.

Thomas Newman's score to American Beauty changed the musical landscape literally overnight. It was brilliant and has been copied hundreds of times since. His work on the Dark Knight overshadowed Hans Zimmer's work, IMO, and the score to the latest James Bond Film is a marvel. IMO, there is currently no one better.
I agree that Stewart Copeland has composed some very interesting scores, but it's highly unlikely he'd be a candidate for a Star Wars film. Elfman, IMO, is too whimsical for Star Wars, although he too is another game-changer like Newman.
