• According to Star Wars canon, the Tusken Raiders who kidnapped Shmi Skywalker were paid to do so by Count Dooku. Dooku had done this on orders from his Master, Darth Sidious, but this was never revealed on-screen. In Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005), Chancellor Palpatine was supposed to reveal this to Anakin during his fight with Count Dooku, but it was left out of the final cut as well.
• When Anakin is slaughtering the Tusken Raiders, Qui-Gon's voice can be heard in the background. This is no accident. According to Star Wars canon, Qui-Gon's Force-ghost tried to stop Anakin's rage, but failed.
• The entire "aggressive negotiations" conversation during the dinner scene between Anakin and Padmé was ad-libbed by Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman at George Lucas' request, due to his not being happy with the romantic dialogue he wrote for that scene.

User reviews
Great scale, action and mystery squares off with bad romance and dialogue
Why so much hate?
Looking back this episode is much better
