I don't remember the original movie being that much different than the book, other than the fact that the book was a LOT more complex of course. Like someone else said, it could fit into 3 movies easily. The actual story line is way more epic than the original Star Wars Trilogy. The main difference I remember is that the Baron in the book was not disgustingly diseased like he was in the movie, that was a David Lynch special right there.
