The 2004 DVDs are not about connecting with the prequals. They are about making changes that should have been made in 1997 but that Lucas lost time or forgot to make. Be sure that in 2007 there will be Ultimate Editions.
So... why release the DVDs now? I mean, if it's not what he wants us to see... oh yeah, I forgot. Money. So that he can buy his Death Star. Which is what he calls his macaroni and cheese recepie.
