So for Christmas, my brother got me a huge book called "Star Wars in 100 scenes" and the book is okay, it pretty much just narrows the saga down to 100 memorable scenes (special edition changes included sadly) and gives some cool fun facts/behind the scenes information along the way. In the book I found a confusing quote at the wampa scene that reads:

"1997's special edition (theatrical version) replaced the original wampa with a digital version of the beast."

Can anyone explain this to me? Was the added wampa that we know totay digital at some point? Is this just some mistake? Why does it say "(theatrical)" if it's in the special editions? I just though this was an odd quote and I'd bet that there is some screen-cap or reconstruction somewhere.
