I think the general attitude toward the powers that control Star Wars has turned the tide from angry to optimistic, but if anything the outrage against the SE is even more widespread now. Think how well known Harmy’s Despecialized edits are. Whenever the Star Wars Facebook posts about rereleasing the movies half the comments are either “won’t buy if they aren’t originals” or “I’d rather watch Harmy’s.”
That’s why I’m convinced we’ll see an official OOT release by 2019 (Or whenever Episode 9 is hitting theaters) at the absolute latest. Actually, 2018 would line up with the “every seven years” pattern we’ve seen so far and serve to hype up the final chapter of the currently-being-made trilogy just like the OT dvd in '04.
