From this blog report:
- "Leektar's Story: Everything you didn't need to know!" — We'll Blow Your Planet Up! — Arthur Papadam's StarWars.com Blog (backup link)
Andrew Gilbertson, mentions: "I added Keoulkeech in his current from because of a notation by Pablo Hidalgo in the original description, noting that Leektar was commonly confused with Keoulkeech."
Are the original What's The Story? submission guidelines (which now appear to be inaccessible via Internet Archive as they were a Hyperspace feature) considered canon? The databank entry for Leektar doesn't actually mention the confusion between the two...
I raise the issue because the Keoulkeech figure does not physically resemble Leektar, however as originally described at the SDCC 2008, Keoulkeech was initially going to be released as the dark-furred Ewok that was later released as Machook. I'm wondering if the names have somehow been mistakenly switched on the final packaging since SDCC 2008, leading to the assumption that both Leektar and Keoulkeech are intended to be dark-furred.

Also is anyone aware of anywhere that the original submission outlines (by Pablo Hidalgo) that were used as a guide to further develop the stories are archived? I once had these saved as .html files but lost them some years ago after a complete system failure. They were accessible from here: *https://web.archive.org/web/20080623061329/http://starwars.com/hyperspace/about/news/news20050624.html which pointed towards here: https://web.archive.org/web/20080623061329/http://starwars.com/hyperspace/member/whatsthestory/input.html displaying the submission form pictured on the right of the 1st link above.
