I knew George Lucas had some issues writing dialogue, and yes the thing about early drafts is that they are bound to be pretty terrible, but Jesus I had no idea it’d be this bad??
Can you imagine Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher trying to read this with a straight face? God bless editors
(From How Star Wars Conquered The Universe by Chris Taylor)
Mark, Harrison, and Carrie have said in interviews that they improvised most of their lines, because GL’s scripted dialogue was so bad
oh dear god
note to self: never feel bad about anything you write. never ever ever.
