Yeah. The outcry probably isn't going to change anything right now, but I'm not sure how the 3D versions will be received if some of these almost universally loathed changes stay in it.

Bear in mind that the Blu-ray box probably hasn't been very expensive to produce. The master has been sitting there since 2004, the deleted scenes seem to be unrestored scans, a lot of the SD bonus material is merely footage shot for the '04 docs. This was probably done on the cheap, making it very easy for this set to gain revenue.

However 3D conversion, theatrial promotion and such are all very costly. Sure, I can still imagine a lot of moviegoers going to watch these, but I can also imagine a lot of people choosing to pass it up because we'll inevitably see a lot of the current bad press reappear when these versions are released. It's actually a lot easier for the public to protest here. I'm sure the financial outcome of the 97SE theatrical release would have been different if more people had known back then that the originals were going to disappear completely.

I, for one, got the Blu-ray box, but I have no intention to go watch the saga in 3D.
