The Clone Wars - S1E4 - "Destroy Malevolence"

3:44 - Obi-Wan:  "What in blazes are they [Padmé and C-3PO] doing out here?" echoes Obi-Wan's earlier "What in the blazes is he [Anakin] doing there [on Tatooine]?" in Attack of the Clones [1:22:27].

5:42 - C-3PO:  "Oh, we're doomed."  He also says "We're doomed" twice in A New Hope [3:04, 16:02], once in The Empire Strikes Back [1:00:38], and once in Return of the Jedi [10:03].

5:47 - Anakin:  "Somebody has to save her [Padmé's] skin."  Leia has a similar line in A New Hope: "Somebody has to save our skins" [1:18:22], and Anakin uses the same expression in Revenge of the Sith when he says to Obi-Wan, "Alright, but you owe me one, and not for saving your skin for the tenth time" [24:38].

5:52 - Plo Koon: "There he [Anakin] goes again, craving adventure and excitement."  This borrows some words from what Yoda says to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back:  "Adventure.  Heh!  Excitement.  Heh!  A Jedi craves not these things" [56:49].

6:14 - Computer voice: "Welcome to rail jet sub-station nine four."  This is a reference to Docking Bay 94 from A New Hope, first mentioned by Han Solo at 49:18.

9:40 - Obi-Wan:  "Spinning is not flying."

Anakin:  "But it's a good trick."

This is a reference to Anakin's "I'll try spinning; that's a good trick" in The Phantom Menace [1:54:22].

14:25 - General Grievous jumps down behind Obi-Wan Kenobi and says, "Hello, there," the opposite of the situation in Revenge of the Sith [57:27].

15:23 - Grievous:  "I will deal with this Jedi myself."  He says almost the exact same thing in Revenge of the Sith:  "I will deal with this Jedi slime myself" [58:03].  Both times, he's referring to Kenobi.  In Return of the Jedi, Vader says, "I will deal with them myself," referring to the Rebel strike force [56:10].

16:15 -  C-3PO:  "Don't shoot!"  He also says this, also with arms raised, in A New Hope [16:27].

17:49 - Obi-Wan Kenobi uses a crane to swing himself behind Grievous on the train, similar to what Indiana Jones does at the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade [7:52].

The Clone Wars - S1E3 - "Shadow of Malevolence"

6:46 - Nala Se: "It is our only hope." Leia uses the phrase "only hope" twice in A New Hope ("Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope" [35:35] and "You must use the information in this R2 unit to help plan the attack; it's our only hope" [1:38:49]); C-3PO uses it once in The Empire Strikes Back ("Your highness, we must take this last transport; it's our only hope" [31:49]); Obi-Wan uses it once, referring to Luke, in Return of the Jedi ("You were our only hope" [47:24]); and Luke uses it once, referring to Leia, in Return of the Jedi ("If I don't make it back, you're the only hope for the Alliance" [1:19:39]). Sio Bibble also uses it in The Phantom Menace: "Our only hope is for the senate to side with us" [23:48].

7:41 - Anakin: "Cut the chatter, Ahsoka." Red Leader has a similar line in A New Hope: "Cut the chatter, Red Two" [1:45:55].

15:31, 19:30 - As in the previous episode, the Malevolence's ion cannon firing parallels the Death Star's firing in A New Hope, but in the first of these two occurrences, the button-pushing sequence [58:53, 1:56:25] is also included:

17:27 - Plo Koon: "Stay on course" echoes a Gold Squadron pilot's repeated "Stay on target" from the Death Star attack in A New Hope [1:50:43]. 17:30 - Anakin: "All deflectors, double front" echoes Red Leader's "Switch your deflectors on, double front" from the Death Star attack in A New Hope [1:45:47]. 17:55 - Battle droid: "I have a bad feeling about this."

17:58 - Anakin: "Watch those towers, boys." There's also some talk about towers in the attack on the Death Star in A New Hope. At 1:53:48, Wedge says, "My scope shows the tower, but I can't see the exhaust port. Are you sure the computer can hit it?" and then, "What about that tower?" to which Luke replies, "You worry about those fighters; I'll worry about the tower." 18:05 - Clone pilot: "Loosen up" quotes a Gold Squadron pilot [1:50:48] from A New Hope. 21:21 - Plo Koon: "From a certain point of view" quotes Obi-Wan in Return of the Jedi [46:23].

The featurette on the DVD explains that the Y-Wings in this episode (especially their bubble-shaped turrets) were based in part on the Ralph McQuarrie concept art for A New Hope.

The Clone Wars - S1E2 - "Rising Malevolence"

2:38 - Count Dooku: "You may fire when ready."  Twice, Tarkin says the same thing in A New Hope [58:37, 1:56:20].

2:53 & 21:15 - The shot of the Malevolence's ion cannon firing, with droids shielding their eyes, parallels the Death Star's cannon firing in A New Hope [59:02]:

8:59 - Sinker (trying to restore power to the escape pod):  "No, that's not it.  This one goes there; that one goes there."  Han Solo also says, "This one goes there; that one goes there" to Chewbacca while they're fixing the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back [29:42].

10:04 - Plo Koon: "Pod 1977, do you copy?" references 1977, the year A New Hope was released.  There's also a resemblance between this and the Imperial officer's "TK-421, do you copy?" in A New Hope [1:08:21], especially since the numbers are pronounced as individual digits ("one nine seven seven" and "four two one"), although that may be coincidental.

20:54 - Ahsoka:  "You forgot; we turned him off" bears some similarity to C-3PO's "'Use the comlink?'  Oh my, I forgot; I turned it off" in A New Hope [1.23.53].

The Clone Wars - S1E1 - "Ambush"

1:25 - Katuunko (after Dooku outlines the Republic's offer):  "Your spies serve you well, Count."  Obi-Wan gives a similar assessment to Luke in Return of the Jedi:  "Your insight serves you well" [48:02].

3:45 - Yoda (after Lieutenant Thire says they're out of range):  "I agree."  In Revenge of the Sith, Anakin says, "I agree" twice (once after Obi-Wan says that Anakin is not helping by firing at the buzz droids on his fighter:  "I agree, bad idea" [6:04] and once after Palpatine explains that the Jedi would kill the two of them and the senators [1:17:36]).  Yoda also says it twice (once to Ki-Adi-Mundi's suggestion that it's Obi-Wan who should confront Grievous [49:09] and once to Obi-Wan's suggestion to turn off the retreat message coming from the Jedi temple [1:30:50]).

4:53 - Katuunko (after Ventress says he "might prefer more than words"):  "What do you have in mind?"  Han uses the same expression in A New Hope:  "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12], and in The Empire Strikes Back, Leia says basically the same thing when she asks Han, "What'd you have in mind for your next move?" [1:14:52].

6:53 - Battle droid (to Ventress, referring to Yoda):  "Don't worry, Supreme Leader, we'll take care of him."  "Don't worry" also appears in Attack of the Clones (Anakin tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I've given up trying to argue with you" [1:36:02]), Revenge of the Sith (C-3PO tells Padmé, "Don't worry; I'm sure he'll be alright," referring to Anakin [1:24:00], and a clone trooper tells Bail Organa, "Don't worry; the situation is under control [1:24:35]), A New Hope (Obi-Wan tells R2-D2, "Oh, don't worry; he'll be alright," referring to Luke [30:17]; Han tells Chewbacca, "Don't worry, Chewie; I think I know what he [Luke] has in mind" [1:12:12]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry; she'll hold together," referring to the Millennium Falcon [1:34:57]), The Empire Strikes Back (C-3PO tells R2, "Don't worry about Master Luke; I'm sure he'll be alright" [12:45]; Luke tells R2, "Don't worry, R2.  We're going!  We're going!" [36:07]; and Han tells Leia, "Don't worry" [1:20:04]), and Return of the Jedi (Lando, referring to Han, tells Nien Nunb, "Don't worry; my friend's down there; he'll have that shield down on time" [1:27:18]).

9:37 - Rys: "Where's the General [Yoda]?

Jek:  "I don't know, we got separated."

Luke also says "We got separated" (referring to himself and Leia) in Return of the Jedi [1:02:20].

9:45 - Clone trooper (it's unclear which one) (referring to battle droids):  "Fall back!  There are too many of them!"  Captain Panaka says something similar in The Phantom Menace (referring to battle droids):  "There are too many of them" [23:25], as does a Jedi youngling in Revenge of the Sith (referring to the clones executing Order 66 at the Jedi temple):  "Master Skywalker, there are too many of them" [1:23:40], and a rebel pilot says basically the same thing in Return of the Jedi (referring to TIE fighters):  "There's too many of them" [1:35:13].

11:00 - Super Battle Droid:  "Die, Republic dogs!"  When C-3PO's head is on a battle droid's body in Attack of the Clones, he has a similar line:  "Die, Jedi dogs!" [1:53:27]

11:16 - Lieutenant Thire (to Yoda):  "What are we gonna do, sir?"  During Order 66 in Revenge of the Sith, a youngling also asks this of Anakin:  "What are we going to do?" [1:23:43]

11:46 - Super battle droid (hijacked by Yoda to fire on the other droids):  "Don't shoot!"  C-3PO also says this to Jawas in A New Hope:  "Don't shoot!  Don't shoot!" [16:27].

13:39 - Yoda (to Rys):  "So certain of defeat are you?"  His comment to Luke in The Empire Strikes Back (after Luke complains that he and R2 will never get his X-wing out of the swamp) is similar:  "So certain are you?" [1:09:00].

14:10 - Yoda (to the clones):  "Deceive you eyes can."  Obi-Wan gives the same advice to Luke in A New Hope:  "Your eyes can deceive you; don't trust them" [1:01:45].

19:27 - Dooku (after Katuunko refuses to join the Separatists):  "So be it."  Palpatine uses this same expression in Return of the Jedi, after Luke refuses to turn to the dark side:  "So be it, Jedi" [1:54:26].

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

35:25 -  Ahsoka:  "So, this is where the fun begins."  Anakin also says "This is where the fun begins" at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith [3:47], and Han Solo has a similar line in A New Hope:  "Here's where the fun begins" [56:26].

46:02 - It appears earlier, but this is probably the clearest shot of an archway in the monastery:

This is clearly based on a Ralph McQuarrie concept painting from Return of the Jedi of the exterior of Jabba's Palace:

46:40 - Wilhelm scream (clone trooper)

1:03:59 - Anakin:  "Looks like we're gonna have to take this bucket of bolts all the way to Tatooine" references Leia's "This bucket of bolts is never gonna get us past that blockade" in The Empire Strikes Back [35:09].

1:07:19 - Obi-Wan:  "If anyone can fly a bucket of bolts through hyperspace, he [Anakin] can" - same as above.

1:10:54 - Anakin:  "Hang on back there."  Anakin seems to direct this to Ahsoka, but Luke says this to R2-D2 in A New Hope [1:48:52].

1:16:55 - Ziro to an assassin droid:  "What is it, Kronos-327?"  327 is a number that frequently appears in Star Wars.

1:27:58 - Ziro to Padmé:  "I believe you are too dangerous to be kept alive."  In Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine says that Dooku "was too dangerous to be kept alive" [14:38].  Later in the same movie, Mace Windu has a similar line about Palpatine:  "He's too dangerous to be left alive" [1:14:23].

1:28:05 - Ziro:  "I have powerful friends in the senate" echoes what Leia says to Jabba in Return of the Jedi:  "We have powerful friends" [21:02].
