The Clone Wars - S1E21 - "Liberty on Ryloth"

4:29 - Mace Windu:  "This plasma bridge is the only way in or out."  Perhaps coincidentally, this bears some resemblance to C-3PO's comment about the Death Star's cell bay in A New Hope:  "The main entrance seems to be the only way in or out" [1:17.52].

Among the Twi'lek treasure seen at 12:36 and 19:15, there's an object that resembles the Ark of the Covenant as seen in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The Clone Wars - S1E20 - "Innocents of Ryloth"

13:59 - Tactical droid (referring to the Republic troops):  "They are on the move."  Probably just coincidentally, Obi-Wan uses this same phrase in A New Hope to describe the sand people:  "They're on the move" [32:29].

The Clone Wars - S1E19 - "Storm over Ryloth"

0:32 - This shot, which is re-used from the beginning of "Rookies," copies a shot from the end of Attack of the Clones [2:13:51].



6:14 - A vulture droid crashes into the bridge of the Jedi cruiser in the same way that an A-wing crashes into the bridge of the Super Star Destroyer in Return of the Jedi [1:59:05], although without such disastrous results.



There's a similar shot in "Jedi Crash" [0:21], so similar in fact, that it seems that Anakin and Yularen were simply taken out of this shot from "Storm over Ryloth," and it was used in "Jedi Crash" first.


20:19 - This shot of Anakin's escape pod visually parallels a shot of R2-D2 and C-3PO's escape pod in A New Hope [7:22]:

The Clone Wars - S1E18 - "Mystery of a Thousand Moons"

5:36 - Anakin:  "Obi-Wan and I can handle it."  This has some similarity to Obi-Wan's "Anakin and I can handle this" in Attack of the Clones [2:03:07].

12:34 - Obi-Wan:  "Those are the roots we're looking for."  He uses the same expression in Attack of the Clones ("I have a strong feeling that this bounty hunter is the assassin we're looking for" [57:35] and in A New Hope ("These aren't the droids you're looking for" [43:40]).

12:45 - Obi-Wan:  "I have a bad feeling about this."
