Why would Jedi be filtered like this?

 

Well actually the GKAR version of all 3 films are filtered in the same way, it's just that ROTJ is the only one where the other available source is worse. I think the filtering was applied by the broadcaster or maybe it's result of re-encoding the video after the hard subtitles were added (which will also be masked out using the TB version).

The real question is why the TB version of ROTJ is so much worse than the TBs of ANH and ESB (which are far supperior to the GKAR versions), this is probably due to processing done by the annonymous person who originally made the TB discs, the video for ROTJ is also a different size, 720x576 instead of 704x576 (although both of are valid PAL DVD formats)
