	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.
