You posted a link to a lame ass story and misrepresented it's content to big it up so people would click on it. If it looks like a shill and posts like a shill...
You don't even know what shill means. An example of a shill would be someone who works for Disney and is trying to promote the film. Maybe one day you'll win your war with the English language.
As for "lame ass story," like I said, spoken like a true fanboy. Clearly you aren't interested in anything that might be critical of the Disney Star Wars movies.
Some guy tweeted where he was complaining that buying 32 tickets to 'Return of Skywalker' was expensive and it better be good. Hamill replied or you could wait for cable. So it was a joke. Like I said a lame ass click bait story.
"Hamill’s tweet about skipping Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in theaters comes shortly after rumors indicated there were multiple versions of the film created following terrible test screenings.
"In fact, according to these rumors the test screenings were so bad on the original cut of the film that Disney CEO Bob Iger personally stepped in, in order to try and right the ship of Star Wars. And while his test screening fared better than the previous film, it was still met with rather lukewarm scores.
"A third version of the film would be created with Disney bringing in George Lucas to create a “secret Skywalker.” This version was met with much better scores. It’s unclear which version Disney will go with, but the source of the rumor indicates Disney will more than likely go with George Lucas’ version of the film."
If there's actually something to these rumors then it's nothing short of a bombshell, especially the part about Lucas being brought to help fix the mess Disney has created.
Very often in the film business rumors turn out to be based on fact. Countless examples of that.
It's not like anyone is submitting this as evidence in a court of law. We're on a film discussion board on the Internet. If this isn't a topic you want to discuss, then don't.

Disney wouldn't waste money paying people to shill on message boards like this. Maybe on social media and review sites, but not places like this.

Who knows what "stepping in" actually means. I doubt he stepped in as principal editor--does he even have the skills?--but he may have given the film more attention in the form of studio notes.

Like you said before, rumors do tend to be true. I have a feeling they wont show the Lucas version anyways. Disney has proven they could care less about him or his ideas. It would be like not asking advice from DaVinci about painting a mural.
As someone who actually appreciates the prequels, despite their issues, I think Lucas has been treated a little unfairly in regard to Star Wars in general.
Epicstream updated their article after Hamill explained it was a joke!

NERD ALERT: This was a joke. A J-O-K-E. See, it's funny because NO self-respecting #StatWars fan would EVER wait for #EpisodeIX on cable. Get it now? I knew you would. #TheBestHumorIsTheKindYouHaveToExplain
BIC is hardly a credible source. Google "multiple versions rise of skywalker" and you find nobody else! Maybe DoomCuck.
You People are just lusers latching onto any "bad news" that confirms your hatred!
