They are distracted by the Blu-ray seal of quality. If it is good enough to be on blu-ray, it has to be great!!
I think this is exactly right. I certainly don't look into a lot of Blurays before buying them. All I see is "Big Trouble in Little China? on BR? for $15? I'll take it!" There are a lot of old movies that are on BluRay and I, like most people, just assume that they have been given the appropriate Bluray makeover.
I doubt a majority of the population has seen SW as many times as I have and so they certainly haven't seen it as much as most of you guys have. I think if you randomly asked casual fans, they would have no idea what "Han shot first" even meant. If casual users don't notice the obvious changes, you can bet they don't notice less obvious things like color.
