Their redesign in ROTS never made any sense to me. As there were Wookiees in TPM and they looked like they fell right out of the OT:
IIRC, they took one of the original Chewie suits out of storage and recolored the fur for TPM.
The funny thing is, Tarfful and the other Episode III Wooks look better than Chewie did in the movie. I presume it was another attempt at making an OT character look younger, ala Creepy Puppet Yoda.
