| - However, there was tension between Dykstra and Lucas, who later complained that too much of the special effects budget was spent on developing the camera systems and that the effects team did not deliver all the shots that he had wanted. Regardless, following the release of Star Wars Dykstra secured his status in the industry with Academy Awards for best special effects and special technical achievement. Dykstra had a production credit for the television series Battlestar Galactica and contributed to the series' effects, but after Star Wars these stock shots were a bit of a disappointment. Universal Studios, the producers of Battlestar Galactica, also got into a legal dispute with George Lucas. As a result, when work started on The Empire Strikes Back Dykstra was not invited back. Dykstra also worked on the effects for Star Trek: The Motion Picture with some of these effects being recycled in subsequent films. Dykstra's next major achievement was the effects work on Firefox in 1982. Here he took on the same challenge that Lucas had set with The Empire Strikes Back of combining miniature effects with actual backgrounds and matte work on white backgrounds. The film secured further awards but was only a modest box office hit. Dykstra was also involved with the laserdisc-based arcade game spin-off from Firefox that proved a big hit and for the next decade concentrated on video games. Dykstra was supervisor for the special effects of Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. Dykstra was Visual Effects Designer on both Spider-Man films, and was rewarded with an Oscar for Best Achievement in Visual Effects for his efforts on Spider-Man 2.

This led to the development of the Dykstraflex motion-controlled camera, which enabled many of the film's groundbreaking effects to be produced. The system was made possible by the availability of off-the-shelf integrated-circuit RAM at relatively low cost and secondhand VistaVision cameras.
- John Andrew Dykstra is a professor of American literature at the Sarasota campus of Florida State University, a post he has held since 1990. During that time, he sold four short stories through his agent, Jack Golden. In 1994, Golden persuaded Dykstra to spend the summer writing a suspense novel instead of teaching summer classes; Dykstra did, launching a successful career under the pseudonym of Rick Hardin, writing about a hitman named The Dog. After one of his bi-weekly meetings of fellow suspense writers in Jacksonville, Dykstra headed home to Sarasota, pulling into a Turnpike rest stop for a bathroom break. There, he encountered a case of domestic abuse when he witnessed a man beating on his pregnant wife. After fighting off panic and the urge to flee the scene, Dykstra instead channeled his alter ego, and Hardin set off the car alarm of his Jaguar to lure the man into the open. Hardin then clubbed the man with a tire iron to subdue him, ordering the woman to leave in the couple's PT Cruiser. With the woman gone, Hardin shattered the man's glasses and kicked him numerous times, finding a sadistic pleasure in serving the man a beating of his own. Hardin left the man on the pavement with the warning that he knew his address and license number. Fifteen minutes down the road, Dykstra reasserted himself, pulling onto the shoulder to vomit out the cardoor.
