If you're referring to the Laserdiscs, then yes. Not only are the latter from a different telecine, they have also had image filtration applied, noticeably temporal smoothing.

I have seen some screen caps (don't remember what site) that show changes done to reduce the violence in the films. For example, blaster hits on stormtroopers have the flash and smoke reduced. Were these changes made prior to the SE in '97?

I believe those specific changes were made for the 2004 DVD, not the '97 SE.
