Sony Classical's original soundtrack recording of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, the last episode of the Star Wars saga, hit the stores on May 3rd, and it immediately began making sales history.

The CD features a new score by John Williams, who is also the composer and conductor of the score for each film in the six-chapter Star Wars saga, and it is packaged with an collector's DVD - Star Wars: A Musical Journey.

Created to accompany the CD release, the 70-minute Bonus DVD features 16 new music videos set to selections from all six of John Williams' Star Wars film scores and has been designed around a timeline that will take the viewer chronologically through the entire saga. The DVD is hosted by Star Wars actor Ian McDiarmid.

Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, becomes the third Star Wars soundtrack to debut in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart - a new record. Previously, two Star Wars soundtracks held that distinction in a three-way tie with the two Spider Man soundtracks and two American Idol soundtrack collections.

The Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith soundtrack also becomes the fifth Star Wars soundtrack to reach the top 10 of the Billboard 200. This extends a pop chart album record, long held by the Star Wars series, among film and TV soundtracks - with the exception of Star Wars: Episode VI Revenge of the Jedi (originally released in 1983), all of the Star Wars soundtracks have made the top 10.

Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, written and directed by George Lucas, opens worldwide on Thursday, May 19th, 2005.
