What I don't understand is why do the movies look so different this time. I mean, how many times have they been released? I know only on VHS & Laserdisc. But they claimed to be restored, remastered with a new digital transfer etc. etc. Why was the look of the films not altered with any of those releases? Why just the DVD's? It makes no sense.

The movies look has changed many times. See the SE, and I'm not talking about the new effects and CGI elements. The colors have changed during the restoration process, and the best exemple is Tatooine. Have you noticed that "pink" color in the image? It was not there in the original version, and it's not there now in the DVD version.

There's a good article on the changes between original version, SE and DVD just right there.
