Ironically, he did reverse what was, in my opinion, the second worst decision of the SEs -- Luke's wailing at the end of ESB. Dump all you want to on Jabba's CG insertion, it didn't affect plot nearly as badly as Luke willingly falling to his doom, but crying out like a bitch on the way down. Lucas realized this was stupid, and he reverted back to Luke's silent plummet.
So why ignore the Greedo shooting first issue? He didn't want Han to appear cold-blooded? I never got that impression. Han was held at gunpoint, and Greedo announces that he was looking forward to shooting him right now, so boom, Han shoots before Greedo can get off the shot. Any good person who isn't afraid to use a pistol would have the same reaction in the same situation. And they WOULDN'T wait for the other party to hit and hope they'd miss at point-blank range.
