No, he's right, the forest has been flipped. I was under the impression that the foreground trooper and the forest were shot live together in Guatamala, so they would have had to roto him out, flip the forest and composite him back in where he originally was (while adding a totally CG sky plate), which makes it seem extra unnecessary.
Does that make the lighting on the trooper come from the wrong direction?

 No, the lighting comes from the sky, which still has an upper-right source direction; technically, I guess the forest is lit reverse in the SE (pretty sure you can see this in the highlights if you scrutinize), but it's such a soft, vaguely-defined light that you wouldn't know it. In the SE the X-Wings look like they are lit from the left though, making them incorrect.
