I wouldn't say he shat on it but he's clearly not a fan haha.In fact that was my superpower…. I've never been interested in Star Wars ever, so I have no reverence for it whatsoever. I was unafraid of that. And they were in such a swamp - they were just in terrible, terrible trouble, that all you could do was improve their position."
But it is also for that reason he later confirmed he has no interest in making a future Star Wars movie.
"No, I don't like it. It doesn't appeal to me. I don't think Rogue is a Star Wars movie in a lot of ways. It's a Battle of Britain film."
He's a talented writer though and his detachment from the source material might be more of a help than a hindrance.
