[edit] Differences from the film
- More background for Anakin Skywalker is given which ties into later comments in the film, such as Anakin's conversation with a pilot about angels, and Anakin's race in which Sebulba causes him to crash Watto's podracer.
- Background for the Sith is given, showing their origin and reasons for wanting revenge against the Jedi.
- The first fight between Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul does not end with Qui-Gon simply jumping onto the ship. Maul leaps up there as well until he is knocked off.
- Obi-Wan and Maul's duel by the melting pit is greatly extended.
- There is a monologue by Darth Sidious about his plans after the death of Darth Maul
