I came across a quote from Harrison during the filming of Empire (I think), something along the lines of "George, you can type this shit, but you sure as hell can't say it."!
edit: it was apparently said during the making of "A New Hope"
The "making of Empire" has a transcript of Harrison and Kershner tossing out most of George's dialogue during the goodbye scene between Han and Leia in Cloud City, and making up their own. Fun stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Once-Upon-Galaxy-Journal-Strikes/dp/0345290755/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
FYI, Ivan Kirshner was the director of Empire, Lawrence Kasdan was a co-writer of the script, along with Leigh Brackett and Lucas.
This was one of, if not the, first technical books I ever read.

My 10 yo brain could not process the technicals in depth, but I slogged through it for tidbits pertaining to the extended universe and the 3rd installment. I could never get as lost in movies/stories the same way afterward, kinda ruined the magic. Luckily, every once in awhile, an Annaud, a Besson, or a Del Toro comes along & reignites the fire for me.
SW is 40... wow... time flies.
