Here’s some more info:

Also, if anyone wants to get one of these, they’re actually pretty cheap!

I clicked on the link to the company who made this, “Goldies”, and it seems like all they do is release famous music. Everything from Elvis, to Bob Marley. I even recognize the box art from their Tommy Dorsey and Louis Armstrong collections from my mothers music collection so CD’s from this company must have been been readily available in Norway (which is where I live) back in the early 2000’s.

I own something similar. It’s all Star Wars music, but they’re strange, simplified arrangements that sound almost like midi files. It’s a 3 disc set with five pieces each. I saw it for 99 cents at the charity shop and immediately bought it because Lapti Nek and Ewok Celebration were on the track listing.

Mine also has some really bizarre arrangements. F.ex. amidst all the classical sci-fi movie themes (e.g. music from E.T., Blade Runner, Back to the Future, Star Trek, etc.) is the main theme from a 2001 Canadian-German film called “Ice Planet”. Not only is this film rated 3.9 on iMDb, but it is listed before Back to the Future.
It also list “Venus - The Bringer of Peace” which I googled and and far as I can tell this was never even used in any sci-fi films. So apart from the space-related name I can’t really tell why it’s there.
I also find the SW one’s to be somewhat weird. It keeps mentions a “The Empire Strikes Back - Main Theme” and a “Return of the Jedi - Main Theme”. Would that just be the regular SW theme?
