What you're seeing is most likely the result of clipped white levels in the GOUT that is making the lightsabers core appear fatter. You can also see it in the ceiling light to the left, in the GOUT it contains much less white detail and nuances.

I don't have any of the 2004 DVDs available but here is (from top to bottom) the GOUT, the TB97 and the TB97 with white levels tweaked and clipped:

 

The electrical glowing effect in motion seems to be the same in the GOUT and TB97, if it appears different in the 2004 DVD maybe it's because the Lowry NR algorithms simply mistook some of it for noise and filtered it out.
