   @TrevorGoodchild No script doctor probably the real explanation. John Milius used to get $10,000 a week for his services. All very hush hush.

     @judgedread Yeah, at a certain point these clowns simply cannot put their egos aside and submit to a tough-but-fair editor that is generous with the red pen. Every precious word is sancrosanct. King and Rowling also had this issue when they hit the big leagues.

     @TizzoHeavy Most interesting Carrie Fisher trivia: She was friends with Lucas and his gang of film nerds long before Star Wars so the, 'extensive auditions' to find her may have been a ruse.

     @judgedread I see, thank you for the correction. She apparently only rewrote some of her character's lines in the OT, and did more heavy script doctor work after '85 or so.
     
     TIL. Much appreciated, Judge.

     @sickburnbro @TrevorGoodchild @judgedread It was a combination of Fisher (apparently a quite good script doctor) and his wife at the time that kept Lucas in line for New Hope, Empire, and most of RotJ, IIRC.

     @TizzoHeavy Original Star Wars script was doctored by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, co-writers of American Graffiti. Harrison Ford and Alec Guinness also rewrote some of their own lines. Have not heard of Fisher doing much on the OG trilogy, though I would not be surprised if she did.
