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.
When Jango Fett gets into his ship after his fight with Obi-Wan, he bangs his head on the partially open door. This was intentional, and is a reference to a famous goof from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), where a stormtrooper accidentally bangs his head on a door.

Lucas replied that Jedi light-sabers were only blue or green, to which Jackson said "Yeah, but I want a purple one." Lucas said he'd consider the request. Jackson says he didn't know how it would turn out until he went in for re-shoots, which is when Lucas showed him the scene containing his purple light-saber.
