I think the kids that grew up with the PT will have an easier time dealing with it than those of us that were adults during The Great Disappointment of '99.

I was 7 when Jedi came out, so the Ewoks never really bothered me. At that age, you could have had Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy appear in the Lapti Nek scene and I would have accepted it. When I came out of the theater in 83, I probably would have told you it was the best of the three.

When I got older, I realized that it was actually the worst of the three and that those criticisms that my parents and other adults had about the film were totally correct. (I remember my mother groaning about how stupid "Leia is my sister" was.)

Even though I know the Ewoks were a calculated marketing scheme, they still don't bother me. I don't love them, I don't hate them. Perhaps they've even grown on me a bit more now that I see how much worse it can get. I'd rather watch an Ewok than a Gungan any day.
