Star Wars Special Photographic Effects Supervisor, John Dykstra, one of the new generation of young special effects wizards which Hollywood has developed in the last several years. Dykstra got his basic training working with Doug Trumbull on The Andromeda Strain and Silent Running, later working on Graphic films’ Voyage to The Outer Planets. Star Wars vastly extended his responsibility and, with the aid of Space-age electronics and computers, he came through brilliantly.
