The Clone Wars - S1E13 - "Jedi Crash"
0:21 - To some degree, this shot of a Vulture droid crashing into the bridge of a Jedi cruiser visually parallels an A-wing crashing into the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer The Executor in Return of the Jedi [1:59:05].

The Clone Wars - S1E11 - "Dooku Captured"
1:16 - Obi-Wan (after opening the cell door of some prisoners on Dooku's ship): "Don't bother to get up; you're not the prisoner I'm looking for." This seems to be a reference to Obi-Wan's line "These aren't the droids you're looking for" in A New Hope [43:39].

The Clone Wars - S1E10 - "Lair of Grievous"
0:27 - Narrator: "With the help of Count Dooku's sinister agents, the villainous Viceroy has made a daring getaway." "Sinister agents" is a phrase from the opening crawl of A New Hope: "Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...."
4:38 - Battle droid (referring to the Jedi): "Don't even think about it, Republic dogs!" In Attack of the Clones, C-3PO (with his head attached to a battle droid's body), uses a similar expression: "Die, Jedi dogs!" [1:53:27]
9:20 - Nahdar (to Grievous): "Don't make me destroy you." Vader also says this (to Luke) in The Empire Strikes Back [1:50:27].
10:41 - A-4D (Grievous' doctor): "You're a walking scrap pile." This is something of an exaggerated assessment of Grievous' condition, so the situation isn't the same, but in A New Hope, C-3PO insultingly calls R2-D2 a "nearsighted scrap pile" [9:56].
13:09 - Nahdar: "I have a bad feeling about this."
