I actually talk about the fan reaction to changes in the SE vs. ST remastered in my first blog: http://blogs.starwars.com/tragiclove/1
When considering the reviews you posted, I really have to wonder how much of this venom directed towards the SE and Prequels is simply bandwagon-hopping. Look at SE box office sales, as well as the record-breaking sales of TPM on home video (5 million on VHS in 48 hours; 2.2 million in the first week for the DVD release, which at that time was an all-time record). I really don't see as many people hating these films as the critics want us to believe. Last time I checked, people don't spend money to own a film that they believe to be a cinematic abomination.
