I've heard that the separations were done incorrectly and because they weren't tested at the time, they only recently discovered this. I recall something about Lucas being overheard telling someone at some sort of awards ceremony that the blue record was screwed up. I think this is common with films preserved this way, with the seps not being tested due to budget, indifference, laziness or whatever.
