When they applied the changes for the 1997 SE, then they actually reduced the size/resolution to fit Laserdisc.

If you digitalise 35mm film stock the average resolution will be higher than the 1080p HD. So the digitalised source material has considerably high resolution. When you want to put the digitalised and altered material to Laserdiscs (or DVD, or even Blur-Ray in some cases) you actually have to reduce the resolution of the source format.
