"Faces" is the colloquial term for the 1995 laserdisc releases (billed as "the last chance to own the original version of Star Wars"), so called because each disc cover has a different face on it:

(thanks Russ!)

According to davisdvd.com, the Definitive Collection discs had some ghosting/motion smearing due to the noise reduction applied. This apparently was toned down for the faces editions. (I have not seen any screenshots to prove this fact is true, however.)
