I have copies of all his Medal of Honor OSTs and they're some of my most cherished sets (and probably most played on my computer/iPod).
Everyone views things differently, but, for me, if John Williams cannot/will not do Episode VII, I would LOVE for Giacchino to get the nod.

Would you mind recommending one or two of his video game scores to me so that I might see what they're like? I'm always willing to expand my horizons. It may be that I simply haven't heard enough of what he's capable of doing. You noted the
Medal of Honor OSTS . . . would those be a good starting place?
I'm assuming, of course, that video game scores are available as easily as movie scores are so please correct me if I'm wrong.

LOL. I'm willing to concede that. Of course you know there are going to be new Star Wars video games galore

I'm not familiar with him so I peeked at his IMDB listing and it appears that I haven't seen anything for which he has done the music
So unfortunately I'm unable to form an opinion. It seems that he has primarily worked in television with a few video games scattered here and there. I honestly can't see them going with someone who has no feature film credits to his name.
