Maybe they re-did them digitally to get a more consistent "look" with the prequels. I mean, they redid the opening titles in 2004 too...why? No real reason. They look cleaner or smoother I suppose. So, the wipes were re-done optically from scratch in 1997 using the original pieces, but then in 2004 digital fades were used to cover up the original 97 opticals, so all you see is the 2004 digitals. Thats my best answer right now.
