I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I sent an email to Roger Ebert once, several years ago (about something unrelated to SW) but I got a reply.SilverWook said:
We really need someone like Roger Ebert though. He once called Disney out on their practice of cropping Snow White and other pre-widescreen classics to fit modern theater screens, and they listened. Subsequent reissues were pillarboxed.
Has he ever weighed in on the special editions? I can't recall if he ever reviewed them...
I don't recall if I ever sent him an email about the SW debacle, but I know I sent one to Leonard Maltin about it- he replied but seemed resigned to the idea that George only does what he wants to do, blah, blah, so I don't think he'd be of any help.
In the age of Facebook and Twitter, it might be easier to get ahold of some bigger names. Cameron expressed his dissatisfaction about things, maybe the folks over at G4 might make noise, ANYONE. Make the last stand so loud that even if no one listens, they'll go deaf anyway.
