Production

In the fall of 1977, to quickly capitalize on success of Star Wars, the film was dubbed in English and released in the United States under a new title. The English dub included references to "Star Fleet", "Star Fleet Command", "Warp Speed", and "Impulse Drive"as used in the Star Trek television series.
Home Release
Released as a double movie pack with Battle Beyond the Sun [3] Also released in 2000 on Blu-Ray[4]
