...the quote is hardly damning. He just imagined the X-Wings looking different in his personnal opinion. Also, he says that he was initially designing the ships for TPM to look like OT/McQuarrie ships but George told him not too.

His words certainly aren't as harsh as I remember them being.

I'll withhold any judgement until we start seeing some designs, but I actually do have faith in the guy...
