Legendary film composer John Williams has begun work on the music for 2005's hugely-anticipated "Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge Of the Sith", soundgenerator can confirm.

Williams, who has scored each of the Star Wars films since the 1979 original, will again be working with the London Symphony Orchestra. Sessions will begin in February, after Williams finishes composing the original score.

"The 'Star Wars' films are basically silent movies and they're designed as silent movies," Williams said of the Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones score. "Therefore, the music carries a very large role in carrying the story... more than it would in a normal movie."

"Most movies, the story is carried by the dialogue, in 'Star Wars' films, the music carries the story... so the music is extremely important, as it would be in a silent movie."

Williams is also working on the score for the huge summer blockbuster "War Of The Worlds" remake, starring Tom Cruise.
