That’s impossible to prove. Most people who have seen SW today and around the world see those editions. The OT movies a lot of younger fans know are the SE. It’s hard to make a case that the SE ruined anything because the OT hasn’t lost fans.
The SE also made huge money in the 80s rereleases.
Speaking personally those were the OT I saw and loved and the memories of butthurt boomer fans hold no dice.
