Because Lucas has changed all three films again for the DVD release. The latest tinkerings include...
A new, new CGI Jabba
Han dodges Greedo's blast (who still shoots first)
A short scene featuring Naboo (and [shivers] Gungans) on Jedi
Luke doesn't scream when he falls any more
Boba Fett's voice is now Temeura Morrisons
Ian McDiarmid is now the emporer
and yes...
Hayden Christensen does appear at the end of Jedi as a ghost, not Sebastian Shaw (although Shaw is still the one unmasked in ROTJ, albeit without eyebrows now)

A good review of it here, although it's not harsh enough in my opinion - if he doesn't stop playing around with his old movies, we'll end up with Jar Jar navigating the trench on the Death Star rather than Luke.
Should probably order this soon then, but the cynic inside me says wait for the inevitable 10-disc box set that'll come out after Episode III hits DVD at Xmas next year.

why the £#&@ would he do that? :S damnit
I'm really not keen on all these changes, I would rather have the originals on DVD. Not sure what this screaming Luke thing, I dont think I cared, I'm sure I would scream if I was falling.
Soon good VHS tapings of the originals will sell well on ebay I imagine.

These extensions actually sound pretty good, especially for continuity sakes.

A few changes on there that the other site missed.

Some good, some not so good, some f**king terrible. Amazing what they can do though.
And this picture just screams "First I got Lucas, and now my dead Jedi ass is coming for you": [URL]http://www.thedigitalbits.com/reviews3/starwars/6-03-2004.jpg[/URL]
[EDIT: also, the reason for him being so young is that it was his last true self, or some other nonsense. Rubbish, he was all angry and murdery. His last true self was when he was that little kid - that would be much more...gooder?]

I really dont see why they needed to change the ghost, I mean he looks like an old man when he's dying, why bother changing it? Some changes are okay though that people wouldnt really care about anyway but the big changes :S no thanks.
The worst changes are as follows: Chewie has been completely removed [digitally] and replaced by a young Gungan called Jir-Jir Binks, son of Jar Jar. Harrison Ford is rumoured to be "extremely angry" that someone has redubbed some of his lines to make this work. Ditto Carrie Fisher.
The Chess game scene has been altered significantly and Han now tells C3PO that he shouldn't let RD D2 beat Jir-Jir because he's "taught us all the true meaning of love".
Vader's voice has been entirely re-dubbed by Samuel L Jackson.
The Millenium Falcon is now refered to as the "Patriot"
