I consider Blade Runner (1982\*) the turning point in Ford’s career. That’s when he decided that he knew better than the writers or director what his character was really like and how the movie should end. I.e., when he went from being an actor to a star. And since star’s don’t have to act…

\*After SW V and IJ I and before SW VI and IJ II.
