Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher notoriously changed the dialogue of all their scenes in Star Wars. Ford once famously exclaimed to Lucas - "People don't talk like this George" then he shortened the lines. George Lucas sucked at dialogue, he was great at world-building, and special effects, also character development, but bad at dialogue.

I didn't know this, but it's hilarious! Go Harrison and Carrie! \o/
