I completely agree with all this. Most of the minor character recastings I didn't even notice or realize. I suppose it helps that the movies came out so far apart, too. (Well, I mean, I know a lot of people rewatched them, but sometimes I was lazy and didn't go back and start at movie 1 and go all the way through, so by the time I went to see the new one, it had been awhile since I'd seen the earlier ones). Also, it probably helps that there are tons and tons and tons of characters in these movies, so it's really hard to keep track of everyone on-screen.
But I also agree that once they become even a little important, then it gets weird. If they have lines and/or a significant moment that I'm supposed to remember, then it would be weird for them to suddenly be played by someone else. A bit jarring, especially if they didn't look similar.
