there was a scope ken films version of part 2 of their star wars digest, not mentioned in their catalogue. Though how many people had a way to project 8mm film in their homes. The films themselves were cheap and cheaply produced but the equipment to project them at the proper film speed with sound was not. It would have been an expensive hobby even in 1970's terms.

We actually had an 8mm projector in our house in the 70s, along with a camera that shot home movies on 8mm film. Not sure if the projector could handle sound, though... I know the 8mm family movies were silent. My parents were not well off, either, so they either got the projector for cheap or it was given to them as a gift.
Sadly, though, they got bored with it before Star Wars came out, so it wound up in the closet with only a handful of films (Bugs Bunny, a Bela Lugosi flick, and maybe another cartoon feature). Really wish we'd picked up Star Wars on 8mm back then.
