Eh, I still don’t trust him. I have to know specifics about the original.
Okay but you don’t trust anyone so.
I trust a few people, but only if I know them well and have deemed them trustworthy. I don’t know who this Gilroy is other than that he’s someone who got paid millions to do reshoots on a Star Wars movie. Why should I trust him?
I don’t see why not. The only reason I can think of why he would lie is to flatter himself, which yeah it does sound a little like he might be exaggerating for that reason, but still he seems to speak rather candidly in a way that doesn’t reflect well upon the studio.
