** The prologue of the tie-in novel outlined a largely different backstory than what the films eventually portrayed. In particular was that it said that Emperor Palpatine was originally a helpless puppet of the Imperial bureaucrats rather than the ultimate string-puller that the later films revealed him to be.

** The trouble extended to a rather extended form of ExecutiveMeddling from the Director's Guild of America, which was adamant that Lucas remove the iconic title crawl and replace it with normal titles. They even imposed a fine on him...which he paid and then quit the Guild, making it effectively impossible for him to direct any studio pictures for years.

** Luke fixing a moisture vaporator. He observed the space battle between the Star Destroyer and Leia's rebel ship.
** Luke meeting his friends to tell them about the space battle, but no one but Biggs believed him. This scene happened between the droids escaping in the escape pod and Leia confronting Vader.
** Biggs telling Luke he's defecting to the Rebellion. This happened between C-3PO catching sight of the Sandcrawler and R2 getting captured by Jawas.
** Two deleted scenes -- Han talking to Jabba the Hutt, and Luke meeting up with Biggs in the Rebel hangar -- were restored in the Special Edition.
