No he didn't mention companions in the video, sorry for being unclear, but in his pinned comment on the original age restricted video he wrote that he confirmed from two sources that you should be able to respec companions too.
Okay, so I'd assume that means that you can respec them from level 1 (or possibly the level we meet them at if it's higher), rather than that we can redesign them from scratch.
I'm going to continue working on that assumption unless and until we get something more concrete suggesting that we can make changes at respec that we can't even at character creation, and keep my fingers crossed that that part of the concern at least is a false alarm!
