Dykstra and ILM both worked on the effects of the first STAR WARS.  ILM
was formed from people who worked on STAR WARS.  Whether Dykstra was a
part of ILM at that time and then left I don't know.  But you were
right in thinking ILM did the effects, and I am fairly sure one of the
techniques they used was Dykstraflex which I remember was invented for
the film.
