Probably whoever answered the phone at Lucasfilm that day. It’s half assed journalism. It’s already been pointed out in the original thread the inaccurate things they wrote about Adywan.
To be fair, Adywan said he’s unemployed because of health reasons and the journalist said he was disabled. It sounds more like a case of lost in translation. If Adywan wanted to, he could contact the WSJ and ask them to retract that particular line, which I doubt he has done.
The article clearly had a pro-OOT and pro-fan editors slant. Anyone on our side who got offended by the article or took issue with it probably needs to check themselves. My opinion.
Also, if the WSJ is saying “a person familiar with the matter”…that doesn’t mean it was some receptionist or some statement from 10 years ago. It quite clearly means they talked to someone who knows, and that there are no plans to restore the OOT now or any time in the foreseeable future.
