It’s the journalistic equivalent of “my friend’s friend knows this guy”.No, it’s really not. That’s not how reputable journalism works. If the WSJ says they spoke to someone familiar with the matter, and that person says Lucasfilm has no plans to restore the OOT, then I absolutely believe that’s the case.
So naive…
I’m a person familiar with it. I would say the same thing. Therefore, truth.
Every other time he quotes LFL he says he talked to a spokesperson. But at the end he just says “someone familiar with it”. Different people, perhaps?
