I always thought that scene from the first Indiana Jones movie where Indy is confronted with an expert swordsman and solves the situation by simply shooting him was a comment on exactly what this article describes...

That only happens in the film because Harrison Ford had the trots and couldn't shoot a longer scene.

  That's true, but it actually made a huge improvement to the scene and changed how I perceived Indy as a character.

    It was a huge improvement to the movie. It was coming from the fists fight under the plane and the fights on the trucks. Cutting short another one was just right.

      Absolutely, really helps the pacing of the movie.

That general issue is one reason (among many) why I have a hard time suspending my disbelief for the Star Wars movies. You're going to use a sword when someone 100 meters away can plug you in the head with a gun? Umm... good luck with that. They tried to paper over the issue by making the stormtroopers terrible marksmen, but that wasn't very successful (at least in my case).

  AFAIK in the lore the stormtroopers have great aim, but they can't beat the Force, which allows Jedi to "gun kata"
