In ESB, with Hamill's injury to the face from a car accident, they implemented that injury into the movie by having the Wampa swipe at his face. That actually worked out very well and added realism.

The wampa attack doesn't actually explain Luke's different nose between the first two movies. You look closely enough, and it's easy to see that Luke has Hamill's post-accident nose even before the wampa slaps him across the face.

Well you can't expect a movie to get every detail accurate ;)

Anyway, the point is, real-life injuries (whether on or off set) can have an influence to the script's details.

Let's hope that in a few weeks, despite Harrison's serious injury, they can accomplish some of the "easier and relaxed" scenes that involve him (might have to use some camera trickery) so at least that much can be finished and out of the way. Save the harder scenes for last when he's had more time to recover.
