Ford is always been a classic man to do such type of roles.

Well, I think the Han/Greedo scene is iconic too, but Lucas changed that to make Greedo shoot first. And that was just a touch of the massive changes Lucas made to the original Star Wars trilogy. And let’s not forget the rifles being changed to walkie talkies in Spielberg’s E.T. So, it’s proven that Spielberg and Lucas WILL make changes to their classic films. Hence, my fear.

I don’t think that Lucas would have had that particular scene changed because it’s too iconic.
There would’ve been an uproar if that had been done, and not just from the rabid fans either

The scene with the swordsman is my favorite one. In my review of the new trilogy boxset, I mention how worried I was that scenes would be changed, and this one I feared the most. I think if Spielberg/Lucas has made Raiders today, there’s NO WAY they’d have had Indy shoot the swordsman. I mean, c’mon, Lucas didn’t want Han to shoot first at a friggin’ bounty hunter that was holding him a blasterpoint. I’m real glad that Harrison Ford got his way in Raiders.

I am always glad that Ford did this during these scenes and during these films.
