Not sure if this is the right place for this to be, but here goes.
I use AppleScript for a ton of stuff. One thing that's been slightly bothering me is that it's not been updated for the rMBP. In the Editor itself, the "Run" button is clearly still fuzzy, and dialog boxes are fuzzy as well.
Is there something I can do besides wait on Apple to fix this?

Nope.

I can confirm your issue:
I am now using a rMBP 11.3 (Mid 2014) with OS X 10.9.5, and previously used a MBP 2.1 with OS X 10.6.8 (Late 2006).
I too noticed that when running compiled Applescripts apps that were compiled on my non-retina MBP that they use non-retina resolutions and thus are blurry.
There is no apparent fix within AppleScript or other native Apple Software:
I tried to recompile them with the current Applescript Editor (Version 2.6.1 (152.1); AppleScript 2.3.2) as apps, but they still only remain non-retina.
But luckily there is a fix with a 3rd party freeware:
http://retinizer.mikelpr.com/ successfully scales up standard UI elements and fonts to retina resolution of any app dropped on it.
The process is non-destructive on the dropped .app bundles, but just creates an entry in a separate registry.
Apps can be individually "retinized" and de-retinized", or you can choose the global "retinize all apps" (on my Mac).
As Applescripts use mostly (or completely?) standard UI elements this is an acceptable fix for now.
@Apple:
It is desirable that Apple's own software should support all its hardware features out-of-the-box.
Please make AppleScript Editor compile retina compatible apps.
(Maybe fixed in Yosemite? Confirmation anyone?)
