Academy Award winning special effects pioneer John Dykstra was featured in the December 2008 issue of the UK’s SFX magazine. It is a great little interview and covers his many years in the industry, working on films such as Silent Running, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Lifeforce, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Spider-Man, Hancock, and more.
Below is a PDF of the scan from the magazine – I recommend picking it up if you can still find it on newsstands or as a back issue from the SFX website:
