Because they chose to go back to the original camera negative, with no generation lost. Also using this source they needed to redo the opticals and had to find all those lucas had saved and recomp them.

I'll never understand how they had to go back to the original opticals and redo them, but still have the same garbage mattes and transparent elements...

Oooohhh... Busted!

There are elements that are obviously recomped (repositioned Snowspeeders and Jabba's Sail Barge), but there are still transparent cockpits/ships by the boatload.
