I was astonished to see this on ebay. I wonder if it's the same edit as a Ken 400' release? I don't think I've ever heard of an optical sound digest of any title, so this makes you wonder what else may have been released in Japan.

There are quite a few optical digests of non Japanese films that were released.

That Star Wars digest is the same as the Ken Films release. On the leader, it actually says Ken Films.There are a few other optical digests from Japan such as Way of the Dragon, Empire strikes back, the longest day, bridge on the river kwai, magic mystery tour, Emmanuelle, sound of music, Ben Hur, enter the dragon, etc.

There are just all of the Fujifilm released in Japan on 200ft or 400ft spools.
