John Dykstra talks Star Wars

Didn´t he have a falling out with GL and did not stay til the end of filming ANH? I always admired his work, but heIIRC sometimes is described as a "complicated person"?

Pretty sure he stayed til the end of ANH, but GL did not invite him back for ESB due to personality conflicts and perceived delayed in getting the ANH work done. Add to that, Dykstra starting Apogee and doing SW-style effects for Battlestar Galactica in 1978, and that bridge was burned for good.
