As far as I know, George Lucas has never been shy about acknowledging his shortcomings re: writing ability. Didn't Maria Lucas have to fix awkward dialogue and bad story elements in basically every George Lucas film that wasn't crap?

Harrison Ford told George Lucas once "George, you can type this shit, but you sure as hell can't say it." Great fucking line. Too bad no one had the balls to call Lucas out like this when he was making the prequels.

Harrison ford in his prime was really just a force to be reckoned with. The things he said and did were things that no one has the guts to do. And this cat just saunters onto the set and says, stephen... I have a gun... Why am I gonna sword fight with him? I'm not doing it. And everyone looks at him with mouth agape waiting for Spielberg to pull rank, and he just says, yeah you're right. Just shoot him.
That's not something that people do.

Cut from the same mold as Connery. I bet he likes to slap his women, too.
And my second favorite part of that movie is the look on his face when the big bald brute is motioning him over for a fist fight. Best "oh, for fuck's sake..." reluctant grimace ever. He's nodding like "okay okay, I'm coming, oh god damn this is going to suck..."
I can just imagine him making that same face the first time he walked onto the set and saw a goddamn Ewok.

I've heard a couple of different people mention in interviews that Harrison Ford is a bit of a blank canvas actor. He's very plain and sorta meh in real life and nothing like you'd expect him to be based on the assorted roles he's played on the screen.

The same is said about DeNiro, his normal personality is boring as shit. But it helps him more easily assume different roles, or at least that's what is said.
As far as Ford, I'd say that may have been true earlier in his career but now he mainly plays just a caricature of himself somewhat the same as Murray.

ford is apparently terrified of public speaking and being in large crowds which is weird but explains his limited talk show appearances

the cut sword fighting scene in indy jones was apparently because ford was suffering from dysentery while they were filming those scenes. spielberg was also the only crew member not to get sick from eating local food, as he had brought a trunk full of spaghetti-O's

That's true, no reason for C'Boath to have been public knowledge. Vader probably didn't even know about him, it's not like Sith are open and honest with each other. Also, it should be noted that palpatine got (or at least tried to get) DNA samples from all the Jedi on outbound flight.
But, there were clones in another book, and while I don't remember the time period, they were definitely in a long abandoned Imperial research lab, so I assume they were from before the Emp died. Can't remember which book it was, so for all I know it was another force unleashed book and these are the same ones you're talking about. I recall these clones being sorta cray cray and possibly deformed. They had lightsabers, but the crystals were bad, so the blade was more like a flame. They needed some kind of medicine to stay alive, so when they managed to steal a ship, they headed to someplace they thought they could find medicine. Does any of that sound like the Force Unleashed stuff?

These clones numbered less than a dozen, so probably not the same. I think they wrote two books for force unleashed. The second one is probably the only star wars book (outside of comics or childrens books) that I have purposely not read, because the first one was so bad. But I think I mentioned that before.
The book I was talking about is called riptide and is part of a short series (2 books so far) that had a time traveling jedi, from the ancient past. He had to wear a battery back to run his lightsaber because in his time, battery technology wasn't far enough along. He also came along with a shipload of some ore that enhanced dark side force powers. Other than those 2 things, it was good stuff. The way the second book ended, it seemed like there would be more in the series. There was a shipload of ancient sith loose in the galaxy, as well as some of the derranged clones and a new powerful force entity that had previously been imprisoned.
