Regarding the comment on Leeper's review of Lifeforce:John Dykstra did indeed do the special effects for Star Wars-he was, in fact, in charge of the entire team (this is when George Lucas' famous company, Industrial Light and Magic ,was born). He originally worked UNDER Douglas Trumbull on 2001; Trumbull is usually credited with just about everything as far as Special FX goes in that movie. Also, Trumbull, NOT Dykstra, did the special FX for Star Trek- The Motion Picture. Since Industrial Light & Magic has done both STII-TWOK and STIII-TSFS, I assume Dykstra was involved in those. -Ted Ives pwa-b!mmintl!tedi "These opinions are not necessarily those of my company or my species, although terrorist groups may feel free to claim responsibility for them."
