... and now with confirmation of added dialogue and other changes, Matthew Wood comes across as a complete douche bag who's trying to put as much of his imprint on SW as possible.

To be fair it was reported that he did try to keep the new mix 'as original as possible' it was George who would undo all his work when he wanted to make a change. But as Ancorhead pointed out there appears to be an arrogance about him.
