Notable differences between the movie and the novel
The biggest addition to the story is the fact that the Lars family are introduced and have their own subplot leading up to when they appear in the movie. We read how Cliegg Lars lost his leg and the relationships between Shmi Skywalker and Owen Lars as well as his girlfriend Beru Whitesun are explored in far more detail than the film allowed.
There is also far more interaction between Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker which gives their relationship much more depth, and lists Padmé's reasons for falling for the young Jedi. This aspect of the story also includes passages where Anakin is introduced to Padmé's family on Naboo - her parents, her sister, and her sister's two young children.
In addition, the relationship between bounty hunter Jango Fett and his cloned son Boba is explored further.
